Imagine the moment you first encounter a piece of creative ethnography—a poem, a performance, an image—that speaks to the heart of human experience in ways that traditional academic texts rarely do. It moves you, challenges you, perhaps unsettles you. But what happens next? Do you simply appreciate the work and walk away, or is there something deeper at stake in this encounter? What if, instead, we view this moment as an invitation—a call to engage in the same kind of rigorous dialogue that shapes the world of scholarly research, but with a spirit of openness and collaboration?Creative work, like traditional scholarship, thrives on exchange, and peer review, is not just a procedural task. It is an act of co-creation, a chance to enter into conversation with the work and its creator, to shape and be shaped by the process. What if we could reimagine peer review not as a box-ticking exercise, but as a space for creative and intellectual growth—for both the reviewer and the reviewed?This is where we begin: with the idea that peer review, when applied to creative anthropology, can be a transformative practice, one that pushes beyond the rigid confines of conventional academic evaluation and into something more expansive, more generous. But how do we get there? How do we move from skepticism to possibility, from critique to collaboration?Creative work in anthropology is far from a new phenomenon. For as long as there have been anthropologists, there have been those who've felt the itch to push beyond academic forms, to scratch at the edges of what's possible, to seek out other ways of evoking the complexity of life. These anthropologists have always been there, quietly or boldly experimenting with mediums outside the standard forms of the journal article and monograph—exploring poetry, visual art, performance, film. But still, we know there are those who will scoff, who will say this isn't “real” anthropology. And we also know that “creative” as a term is loaded with its own set of assumptions, its own baggage—romanticized, dismissed, misunderstood, or misused.Perhaps we might call these works “non-standard,” or “experimental,” or simply “other” but we think that would disregard the long presence of the creative in anthropology. Some are breaking new ground; others are drawing from established artistic genres but are still perceived as unconventional within the discipline proper. But here's the thing—there's a long history in anthropology of seeing writing itself as more than just a way to present findings. Writing is part of the process, a way of thinking through the work, of evoking the experiences of life. So why wouldn't these forms of writing, or alternative modes of communication, open up new ways of knowing? Creative texts aren't just about describing the world more evocatively; they too are about exploring, analyzing, and theorizing.We're not suggesting that creative anthropology is superior to the traditio

And their minds, their minds are not in grief anymore

Q1 Arts and Humanities

Pub Date : 2024-11-18 DOI: 10.1111/anhu.12533

Chantal Croteau

“And their minds, their minds are not in grief anymore” is a short creative non-fiction piece that blurs genre and style. It features a small segment of an interview with Ajarn Manat, the abbot of a modest temple in southern Thailand that had served as temporary housing for tsunami refugees following the devastating wave in December 2004. The interview is preserved in the left column. The right column weaves together a reflection on the moment of the interview and pieces of a different but interconnected archive. The piece can be read in multiple ways, either by preserving columns or flowing seamlessly across.

An attempt at exhausting a place in Shetland: (field)notes from a (very) small island

Q1 Arts and Humanities

Pub Date : 2024-09-23 DOI: 10.1111/anhu.12531

Justin Armstrong

In what follows, I outline the possibility of directly applying Georges Perec's An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris (2010) to the practice of ethnography. Based on 2 weeks of anthropological fieldwork on the remote Shetland Island of Foula, I attempt a translation of Perec's careful observations of an urban square in Paris in the 1970s into the context of an ethnography in this remote, rural location. After outlining the connections between Perec's book and my work as an anthropologist, I provide readers with my “raw” field notes so that they might then draw out their own analysis in the same way that I believe Perec intended his work to be understood.

An intimate prayer with the dead

Q1 Arts and Humanities

Anthropology and Humanism

Pub Date : 2024-09-22 DOI: 10.1111/anhu.12530

Farzad Amoozegar

This article explores how listening to monājāt (Islamic sung prayer) creates dynamic and unsettling imaginative spaces for Amir—a paraplegic veteran of the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War—to be-with Sohrab, his comrade killed in combat. Amir, who both witnessed Sohrab's tragic death and endured severe physical trauma himself, engages in a profound, nonreciprocal relationship with Sohrab through the act of listening to the sung prayer. Monājāt is a collective experience that derives its power from Amir's imagined world where he finds himself whispering the prayers alongside Sohrab. This participatory mode of listening allows the living to host and welcome the dead. Monājāt creates a nonreciprocal relationship with the dead, a place where Amir hears what is otherwise inaudible. In this imaginary world, Amir finds proximity to be-with his dead friend. Listening is a mode of being-in-the-world that challenges one to not neglect the other's needs. For Amir, monājāt provides both images of Sohrab in heaven (the radiant face with the angels) and a disturbance by alerting him to recall Sohrab's suffering and the injured face. Listening, then, becomes a response and obligation to care for the dead; a way to attend to and be responsible for Sohrab which for Amir is both healing and haunting.
