Didier Fassin's new edited collection brings together public anthropologists and sociologists who reflect on the challenges and stakes related to the dissemination, promotion, reception, and utilization of their ethnographic research.

Didier Fassin bringt in seinem neuen Buch Anthropolog/innen und Soziolog/innen zusammen, um über die Verbreitung und Nutzung ihrer ethnografischen Forschungsarbeiten und damit verbundene Herausforderungen zu diskutieren.

Und was genau geschieht bei der Begegnung zwischen Ethnograf/innen und ihrem Publikum? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen liefern die Autor/innen ethnografische Beschreibungen der öffentlichen Rezeption ihrer Studien.
