Redesigning ethnography : responses to postmodernist, feminist, and other critiques : a symposium
Meetings held at the University of Colorado April 23-24, 1993, for an interdisciplinary symposium on the current conflicts in ethnographic writing. Seven speakers critique writing in the fields of ethnology, anthropology, and sociology. Points are made about the inability of researchers and field workers to free themselves from views derived in their own cultures, the rhetoric of locality. Feminist poets and sociologists link themselves with those written about. The social impact of communications technology is explored in topics about what connects people, engages them, and makes them believe. Media provides a shared moral view which can hold a community together. Speakers also discuss the implosion of margins into the center, as representatives of minority race, gender, class, sexuality, and post-colonial subjects now enter the academic mainstream as authors
