Epistemic attunements: Experiments in intermedial anthropology

Abstract

‘Epistemic attunements – Regenerating anthroplogy's form’ is a collective experiment in expanding the expressive and analytic repertoire of anthropology and related disciplines. It features eleven peer-reviewed research articles published on a standalone website that has been designed, built, and maintained by our editorial collective, independent of Wiley's infrastructure and oversight. The result is a unique off-grid adventure in academic publishing that seeks to contribute to the re-orientation and outward opening of a discipline long committed to finding new ways to apprehend—and respond to—worlds undergoing constant, messy, and often-brutal transformation. In this essay we describe the making of this double special issue of TAJA to make the case for intermedial research and co-design as regenerative praxis.
