'This extremely timely and original book starts a long overdue discussion within anthropology. The authors are to be commended for filling a gap in the methodology literature, which was so glaring until now as to be invisible to most of us.'Professor Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo; 'The book is steeped in love for the materiality of the process of learning about life -inner life as well as the life out there. The chapters open up for reflections on the artistic and scientific aspects of the anthropological endeavour and become experimental in their expansion of the genre of anthropological work and thinking.'Professor Inger Sjorslev, Senior Lecturer Emeritus, Department of Anthropology,University of Copenhagen.
