[IMCnetwork] Collective Reading: A melding of historical ethnography, memoir, fiction

[Heba Al Adawy]

Dear HDR students in the interpretivist community

I am forwarding a request from Tamara Jacka. If there are any HDR students who would be interested in reading and discussing a written piece (less than 12,000 words) of historical ethnography, blended with memoir and fiction, please let her (tamara.jacka at anu.edu.au) and/or myself know. We will arrange a small group reading and discussion in the upcoming session.

Her message is below:

***

I am currently finishing a book called Gingko Village: Tales of Transformation in China's Rural Heartland. It is a 'melding of historical ethnography, memoir and fiction.'

I'd like to send the Introduction plus the first of the 'tales,' which is called Ghosts. Together, I'm hoping this will give a good sense of my explicitly interpretivist approach as well as the aims of the book and provide an example of how I try to achieve my aims and put my approach into practice. In total, the two pieces come to less than 12,000 words.

Please let us know if interested. You can also reach out to Tamara for more information at tamara.jacka at anu.edu.au

Thanks and see you tomorrow
