The Writing Language Ethnographically Collective Project
During 2022 a group of colleagues, from various universities within and outside the UK, embarked on a dialogue about knowledge production and communication in the studies of language and ethnography. The dialogue started in March 2022, with a workshop organised by Adriana Patiño-Santos (University of Southampton) and Miguel Pérez-Milans (University College, London). The initial call invited participants to reflect upon:
1. What works and forms of knowledge have influenced our understanding of the ways in which we communicate our ethnographies?
2. What are the spaces, sources and practices offering alternative ways of communicating our
research? What assumptions about research and knowledge production underpin these?
3. What are the challenges that the process of crafting our ethnographies brings to our own
research?
20 colleagues replied to that call by crafting outputs which engaged with disciplines such as literature, theatre, history, memory, art... , and with a set of concepts coming from diverse areas.
We present here the audio / video outputs from the members of the WLE Collective,
with accompanying information. Please explore. The online exhibition is conceived of as a dialogue, and we welcome your engagement and comments here.
