George E. Marcus Series

This author is deeply interested in the nature of collaboration that underpins contemporary ethnographic research. Their work focuses on systematically reshaping and rethinking the traditional forms of social and cultural anthropology, particularly fieldwork and the writing of ethnographies. They are intrigued by how the study of elites, previously a marginal pursuit, enables the exploration of contemporary social change across diverse fields. This leads to multi-sited research examining both the conditions of ordinary life and the knowledge and active participation of elites.
