This book argues for an approach to linguistic ethnography which departs from the singular gaze of the academic researcher, to amplify instead the voices of participants, researchers and collaborators. The authors offer an account of writing ethnography polyphonically, incorporating the complexity of individual voices. In doing so they challenge the imperative to make meaning from, and explain the culture of, 'the other'. Together, the essays open up the emic perspective by considering the experiential, aesthetic, emotional, moral and ethical value people bring to encounters with others. The book is an essential addition to research methods courses in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, and an invaluable contribution to knowledge about research-based drama, theatre and creative practice.

Reviews for Essays in Linguistic Ethnography: Ethics, Aesthetics, Encounters

Building on fieldwork and data from the wonderful TLANG research project, these reflections explore linguistic ethnography's interdisciplinarity in a wide-ranging and provocative conversation with philosophy and the creative arts. * Ben Rampton, King's College London, UK * This is an intriguing exploration of the ethics and aesthetics of researching everyday encounters. The authors draw on a rich and vibrant study of social life in cities in the UK as capturing a moment in time. Their insights on communicating the everyday will be interesting for researchers across disciplines and this book represents a major step for linguistic ethnography. * Sari Poeyhoenen, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland *
