At the same time, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Writing Culture\u003c\/i\u003e moves the debate on by embracing the more fundamental challenge as to how to conceptualise the intricate relationship between epistemology and representational practices rather than maintaining the original narrow focus on textual analysis. It thus offers a thought-provoking tapestry of new ideas relevant for scholars not only concerned with ‘the ethnographic Other’, but with representation in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“…\u003cem\u003ean excellent recent example [of less ideologically driven analyses of \u003c\/em\u003eWriting Culture\u003cem\u003e]… this volume is the only one … that presents a serious, sustained analysis of the intersections between epistemology and representational practice…More so than the edited volumes on this topic that preceded it, \u003c\/em\u003eBeyond Writing Culture \u003cem\u003eattempts to strike a balance between acknowledging the contribution of \u003c\/em\u003eWriting Culture \u003cem\u003eand trying to learn from its mistakes.\u003c\/em\u003e”  \u003cstrong\u003e·  Collaborative Anthropologies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This volume represents the collection of a number of arguments presently raging in the halls of academia regarding the future of ethnography.
