Call for Chapters – Experimenting with Care: Ethnographic Methods and the Ethics-Politics of Creative Practice

[Isabel Gutierrez]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to share the call for contributions to the forthcoming edited volume: Experimenting with Care: Ethnographic Methods and the Ethics-Politics of Creative Practice.

This volume invites scholars and practitioners to explore the intersections between ethnographic experimentation and the ethics-politics of care. We seek contributions that examine how experimental methods — across diverse media, collaborations, and creative practices — can become spaces for attention, repair, and responsibility in research.

The call outlines four thematic axes:

1. Caring through devices: materialities and affects
2. Caring for the field: practices of sustenance and repair
3. Imagining with care: overflows and improvisations in research
4. Experimental pedagogies and ethnographic training through care

The two book series we have considered for the volume are the following. Both are from Routledge.

-Theorizing Ethnography: Concept, Context, Critique.

-Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality.

You can find the full description of the call in attached as a PDF.

We warmly invite you to share this call within your networks and among colleagues who may be interested. For inquiries or expressions of interest, please contact candela...@incipit.csic.es and isabel.g...@cchs.csic.es

With kind regards,

Candela Morado (INCIPIT-CSIC)  and Isabel Gutiérrez Sánchez (ILLA-CSIC)
