They also discuss the fieldnotes of seminal figures—Frank Cushing, Franz Boas, W. H. R. Rivers, Bronislaw Malinowski, and Margaret Mead—and analyze field writings in relation to other types of texts, especially ethnographies. Unique in conception, this volume contributes importantly to current debates on writing, texts, and reflexivity in anthropology UR - https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501711954 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781501711954 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781501711954/original ER -
