Abstract:
Building on the legacy of Writing Culture, Critical Anthropology Now vividly represents the changing nature of anthropological research practice, demonstrating how new and more complicated locations of research - from the boardrooms of multinational corporations to the chat rooms of the Internet - are giving rise to shifts in the character of fieldwork and fieldworker.
