Abstract

An interview with George Marcus, distinguished professor of anthropology at the University of California, Irvine, focuses on the concept of multi-sited ethnography and discusses an array of questions ranging from the origin of the concept and its place in the discourses of the 1990s to its transformations in the disciplinary context of the 2000s, the changing conditions of ethnographic fieldwork, and the key issues in the concept’s applicability in the design of contemporary anthropological research projects.
