It publishes work that reaches beyond academic, political and life-world divisions, and as such the series seeks to foster contributions from across socially and critically engaged fields of practice. Against this background, ‘Theorizing Ethnography’ employs ‘concept’, ‘context’ and ‘critique’ as devices to stimulate creative ethnographic thinking that transects lines of analysis and location. By focusing on ethnography as a point of tension between abstract thinking and situated life-worlds, the series promotes ethnographic method and writing as an analytical form that is always partial, open-ended and epistemologically querying. The ‘Theorizing Ethnography’ book series seeks to reorient ethnographic engagements across disciplines, methods and ways of knowing. Engebretsen, EJ Gonzales-Polledo, and Silvia Posocco Theorizing Ethnography Series Editors: Paul Boyce, Elisabeth L. She has authored several acclaimed books and articles in English and Greek, including poetry, and has been actively engaged in public anthropology in both Europe and the USA, where she lived and taught for more than two decades. Nadia Seremetakis is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the University of the Peloponnese, Greece. The book locates her approach to ethnography and the ‘native ethnographer’ in wider anthropological and philosophical debates, and proposes a dialogical interfacing of theory and practice, the translation of academic knowledge to public knowledge. Her montage explores various ways of juxtaposing reality with the irreal and the imaginal to expose the fictioning of social reality. Seremetakis weaves together topics as diverse as borders and bodies, history and death, the earth and the senses, language and affect, violence and public culture, the sociality of dreaming, and the spatialization of the traumatic, in a journey through antiphonic witnessing and memory. There the impossibility of the quotidian is concretized as fragmentary and fragmenting material forces. The book proposes everyday life not as a sanctuary or as a recessed zone distanced from the structural violence of the state and the market, but as a condition of im/possibility, unable to be lived as such, yet still an encapsulating habitus. Social crisis is seen through its transnational multiplication of borders, thresholds and margins, divisions, and localities as linguistic, bodily, sensory, and performative sites of the quotidian in process. Nadia Seremetakis journeys from Greece to Vienna, Edinburgh, Albania, Ireland, and beyond. Blending sophisticated theoretical analyses with original ethnographic data, C. Sensing the Everyday is a multi-sited ethnographic inquiry based on fieldwork experiences and sharp everyday observations in the era of crisis.
