تجربیات استثنایی: درگیر شدن با رویدادهای تکان‌دهنده در هنر و کار میدانی

Looking at encounters that can puncture or jolt us, this volume uses art as a lens through which to register and understand exceptional experiences. The volume also includes the fieldworker’s experience of unexpected events that can lead to key understandings, as well as revelatory moments that happen during artistic creation __and__ while looking at art. By exploring exceptional experiences through art, the volume asks probing questions for anthropology. In recognizing that art is all-encompassing – including, as it does, narrative, performance, dance and images – __Exceptional Experiences__ situates itself within a number of conversations on methodological and conceptual issues in anthropology and beyond.
