Blommaert traces the influence of his reading of classic works about ethnography on his thinking, and discusses a range of authors who have influenced the development of a theoretical system of ethnography, or whose work might be productively used to develop it further. Authors examined include Hymes, Scollon, Kress, Bourdieu, Bakhtin and Lefebvre. This book will be required reading for students and scholars involved in ethnographic research, or those interested in the theory of ethnography UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781783099511 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781783099511 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781783099511/original ER -
