Description
This book argues for an approach to linguistic ethnography which departs from the singular perspective of the academic researcher, to amplify instead the voices of participants, researchers, collaborators and other bystanders. The essays reflect on ways of reporting research which add multiple perspectives and represent ambiguity more meaningfully than traditional academic prose. The authors offer an account of writing ethnography polyphonically, incorporating the complexity of individual voices, and challenging the imperative to make meaning from, and explain the culture of, 'the other'. Together the essays open up the emic perspective by considering the experiential, aesthetic, emotional, moral and ethical value people bring to their interactions in encounters with others. The book will add an essential perspective in research methods courses in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, as well as in drama and theatre courses.
