Thanks, Heba. I look forward to discussing my work with everyone - I've put the 4th in my diary.
I'm attaching my Intro and Chapter 2: Ghosts. Even if you can't make it on the 4th, I'd welcome your feedback. Please don't cite without my permission though.
Best wishes,
Tamara.

Subject: [IMCnetwork] Next Meeting: HDR Conversation Over Coffee, March 4th

Dear HDR students in the interpretivist community

For the next meeting (in person) on Friday, March 4th (11 am), we will continue our discussion on ethnographies - a continuing theme for the upcoming sessions.

We had a productive discussion in our last session, discussing ethnography in relation with our previous disciplinary backgrounds in law, history, journalism. We stopped short of discussing how archives and newspapers may be treated as an ethnographic site, and an anthropological approach to examining historical "events"  - a point raised also by Emma Tarlo in her introduction, Unsettling Memories.

For the next session, we will pick up this conversation, and also combine a general discussion with a reading of Tamara Jacka's historical ethnography.

For those interested - please see the message below and reach out to her directly for a copy of her piece <tamara.jacka at anu.edu.au>

Provided below is also a list of authors that came up in our previous discussion.

Until soon!

Heba

"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."
