Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction: Time and the Field -- Chapter 1 Limits and Limitlessness Exploring Time in Scientific Practice -- Chapter 2 The Time of the State and the Temporality of the Gavman in Manus Province, Papua -- Chapter 3 Out of Conclusion: On Recurrence and Open-Endedness in Life and Analysis -- Chapter 4 Times of the Other: The Temporalities of Ethnographic Fieldwork -- Chapter 5 Surfacing Moves: Spatial-Timings of Senior Home Care -- Chapter 6 Boredom, Rhythm, and the Temporality of Ritual: Recurring Fieldwork in the Brazilian Candomblé -- Chapter 7 Episodic Fieldwork, Updating, and Sociability -- Chapter 8 Trans-temporal Hinges: Reflections on a Comparative Ethnographic Study of Chinese Infrastructural Projects in Mozambique and Mongolia -- Afterword: Ethnography between the Virtue of Patience and the Anxiety of Belatedness Once Coevalness Is Embraced -- Index
Summary: In recent years, ethnographic fieldwork has been subjected to analytical scrutiny in anthropology. Ethnography remains anchored in tropes of spatiality with the association between field and fieldworker characterized by distances in space. With updates on the discussion of contemporary requirements to ethnographic research practice, Time and the Field rethinks the notion of the field in terms of time rather than space. Such an approach not only implies a particular attention to the methodology of studying local (social and ontological) imaginaries of time, but furthermore destabilitizes the relationship between fieldworker and fieldsite, allowing it to emerge as a dynamic and ever-shifting constellation.
