Plants as Ethnographic Subjects. Hartigan Jr., J. Anthropology Today, 35(2):1-3, 2019.
abstract   bibtex   
Guest Editorial. Plants can be intriguing, challenging ethnographic subjects. Plants are communicative, agential and social. Engaging them ethnographically possibly expands the scope and relevance of ethnographic methods and theorizing. The phenotypic plasticity of plants makes them strikingly attuned to ethnographic concerns with place and its constitutions; they also actively constitute place through niche construction. There are various intellectual resources available for this kind of engagement through the long‐established disciplines of phytosociology and botany, which, like ethnography, is a field‐based practice.
