Ethnography remains anchored in tropes of spatiality with the association between field and fieldworker characterized by distances in space. With updates on the discussion of contemporary requirements to ethnographic research practice, \u003cem\u003eTime and the Field\u003c\/em\u003e rethinks the notion of the field in terms of time rather than space. Such an approach not only implies a particular attention to the methodology of studying local (social and ontological) imaginaries of time, but furthermore destabilitizes the relationship between fieldworker and fieldsite, allowing it to emerge as a dynamic and ever-shifting constellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…deserves to be read; above all by advanced students who are preparing for fieldwork.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eTime and the Field \u003cem\u003eis an original and colorful collection of articles, approaching the overall topic from various perspectives, all illustrated with vivid accounts from the field.
