Rethinking Ethnography: Towards a Critical Cultural Politics.

Conquergood, Dwight

Communication Monographs, v59 p179-94 Jun 1991

Asserts that critically and socially committed ethnographers are demanding a radical rethinking of the enterprise of ethnography along four intersecting themes: (1) The Return of the Body, (2) Boundaries and Borderlands, (3) The Rise of Performance, and (4) Rhetorical Reflexivity. Argues that such rethinking is conducive to changes in all modes of representation. (RDS)
