George H. Marcus

    Dieser Autor beschäftigt sich intensiv mit der Natur der Zusammenarbeit in der zeitgenössischen ethnografischen Forschung, die den Kern seiner Praxis bildet. Er ist daran interessiert, die Normen und Formen der klassischen Feldarbeit und ethnografischen Schreibens in der Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie systematisch neu zu formulieren und zu erfinden. Seine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf pädagogische Rahmenbedingungen für die Erstellung von Doktorarbeiten in neuen Themenbereichen und untersucht, wie das Studium von Eliten zu einem Mittel zur Erforschung des Wandels in der zeitgenössischen Anthropologie geworden ist. Diese Notwendigkeit, mit Experten und Kollegen zusammenzuarbeiten, neben dem Interesse am Leben der Unterprivilegierten, erzeugt die Komplexität der Multi-Site-Forschung, die ihn dazu veranlasste, verschiedene Eliteschichten in unterschiedlichen globalen Kontexten zu untersuchen.
