Where is the photography of Non-Photography
François Laruelle's writing on Non-Photography is examined from its ontological condition to its desired form of a unity derived from the work of Kant, discussing precisely how the logic of transcendence and the ontology of immanence central to Laruelle's theory impact on how the photographic image is incontrovertibly involved with Kant's paradox of appearance and reality. In a context of burgeoning technoscience, which lays bare the meaning of N…
Anthropology and Sociology at the University of British Columbia from 1947 to the 1980s

Adjudicating entitlements
Research ethics boards adjudicate between competing sacred discourses in the knowledge industries. The traditional rights of researchers to initiate and conduct enquiry, the rights of research subjects to have stewardship over their own experiential knowledge and the legal responsibilities of universities and other institutions often compete in the process of adjudication. The justification narrative leading to the establishment of boards is revi…
The Handbook of Ethnography
Paul Atkinson, Amanda Coffey, Sara Delamont, John Lofland and Lyn Lofland (eds.), The Handbook of Ethnography, London: Sage, 2002, xviii + 507 pages.Rather surprisingly The Handbook of Ethnography, edited by three British and two American sociologists, arrives hot on heels of another sociological Handbook devoted to ethnography. This earlier one edited by Norman and Yvonna Lincoln is in its second edition (1994, 2000) and in preparation stages fo…

Public Discourse on Sacredness
In October 1985, the Australian Labor Government transferred one of the country's leading tourist locations, Ayers Rock and the Olgas (Uluru and Katatjuta), to Pitjantjatjara-Yankuntjatjara ownership. The event triggered a media debate presenting and representing discourses that organized existing knowledge and created new realities around claims to sacredness, equality, restitution, human rights, and the contributions of anthropology.

The Birth of the Anthropological Self and Its Career
Critical Theory in the Postmodern Age
This paper examines the epistemological possibilities suggested by postmodernism. The emergence of postmodern discourse in Anthropology is examined in terms of a contest for theoretical legitimacy. Arguing that the current anthropological fad is curiously apolitical, the author claims that philosophical questions have moral and political value. Specifically, it is suggested that a deconstruction of the binarisms that have characterized ethnograph…

Anthropological Ethics, Fieldwork and Epistemological Disjunctures
The ethnography of James Agee
Le souci de transmettre des connaissances moralement et existentiellement bien fondées, fidèles à l'expérience de la vie de tous les jours, est sous‐jacent aux écrits “ethnographiques”de James Agee. Les thèmes évoqués sont la traduction de la réalité sociale, la sociologie de la description, la création et la découverte de la signification, la dialectique entre le chercheur et le répondant, et la portée de l'anthropologie “d'action.” Underlying t…

Ethics and Anthropology
The Personal Approach in Cultural Anthropological Research [and Comments and Reply]
The personal approach in cultural anthropology, self-consciously and deliberately undertaken, perceives value in the unique combination of interests, personal values, theoretical orientation, imagination, sensitivity, and other idiosyncratic qualities embodied in a particular competent investigator or team of investigators. Because of the uniqueness of the factors through which the personal approach yields knowledge, the approach is not easily ta…

The Silent Dialogue
Role-Making in Participant Observation
Although recent essays about participant observations have extended our understanding of that research method and its problematic aspects, few methodologists have scrutinized intensively the processes by which roles are developed in this type of fieldwork or the relationship of role development to the data gathered. Our purpose in reviewing our own experiences as participant observers in a longitudinal study of baccalaureate student nurses is to …

Adjudication of Student Awareness in Professional Socialization
THREE CENTRAL and related tasks in professional socialization, shared mutually by students, faculty, and the socializing institution, are (1) to bring the student to awareness of what is required in the professional role; (2) to lead him to recognize himself in this role; and (3) to foster in him the capacity to properly communicate about himself as a professional. Presumably, successful accomplishment of this triple-identity objective yields a p…

The Faces of Florence Nightingale
The instinct of the mind, the purpose of nature, betrays itself in the use we make of the signal narrations of history. Time dissipates to shining ether the solid angularity of facts. No anchor, no cable, no fences avail to keep a fact a fact. Emerson
