Abstract
Abstract:What changes if our ethnographic research practices are reconceptualized as archival practices that can be used toward the purpose of building more equitable, sustainable futures? This essay explores this question to (re)think how we document and preserve disappearing Black geographies in our research and activism. Guided by Octavia Butler’s science fiction as a model, the essay uses speculative fieldnotes to illustrate the potential impact of treating ethnographic research as an archival practice.
期刊介绍：
In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
