'Site-Specificity: The Ethnographic Turn analyses the history of correspondences between art and ethnographic practice. Contributors consider the founding of art historical and ethnographic method in the 1920s, the transgression of these traditions in the 1930s by The College of Sociology, and the ongoing development and critique of both methods in art practices, such as Sophie Calle’s and Renee Green’s, invoking the fieldwork and participant/observation models of ethnography today.' - from back cover
Includes an interview with James Clifford, Professor in the History of Consciousness Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz by Alex Coles. With biographies of contributors.
