The workshop gathers together researchers who have already pursued fieldwork in mediated environments. The workshop presentations concentrate on elements of the ethnographic material and a reflection on that work from the perspective of one of the proposed workshop themes: continuity, accountability, affectivity & embodiment, and scholarly practices. The goal of this process is to bring together practicing ethnographers for an in-depth discussion of some key issues within the domain, simultaneously grounded in concrete projects.

We would like to welcome everybody interested in the workshop to comment and discuss here.
