The primary objective of the course is to show par ticipants how to sensuously describe ethnographic spaces\, sounds and characters. Participants will engage in writing exercises that enable them to “Weave the World\,” a seamless linkage of sensuous descrip tion and social analysis. Participants will also be asked to read exam ples from the work of writers (including ethnographers) who have\, in various ways\, successfully used “weaving the world” techniques to evoke places and spaces\,develop dialogue and craft character. By the end of the course\, participants will have practiced writing strategi es that they can use to ensure that their future readers come to know a people who live in a particular place. During the workshop participa nts will be asked to write culture evocatively. The instructor will ou tline ethnographic writing practices—the “tricks of the trade.” He will then ask the participants to begin to “Weave the World” by writing (1) descriptions of space/place\, (2) dialogue and (3)charact er portraits. Please bring your laptop. Paul Stoller is Permanent Fell ow at CAS-E\, FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg. He is the author of 16 books.
