总结
人类学在方法、认识论以及如何撰写民族志方面遇到了重大挑战。作为实践民族学家和诗人，我们专注于人类学学术的许多充满活力的新风格之一：民族志诗歌。随着诗歌越来越频繁地出现在学术场合，人类学家可能想知道如何创作民族志诗歌，以及为了什么目的。为了解决这个问题，我们开始与民族志和民族诗学的民族志诗歌的定义。然后，我们考虑诗歌如何帮助人类学家深刻地写我们和其他人如何生活。借鉴我们自己的诗歌，以及其他人的诗歌，我们探索形式如何影响意义和民族志的洞察力。
SUMMARY
Anthropology has seen major challenges regarding methods, epistemologies, and how one writes ethnographically. As practicing ethnographers and poets, we focus on one among many vibrant new styles of anthropological scholarship: ethnographic poetry. As poetry appears more regularly in scholarly venues, anthropologists may wonder how to create ethnographic poetry and toward what end. To address this, we begin with definitions of ethnographic poetry in relation to ethnography and ethnopoetics. We then consider how poetry may help anthropologists to write insightfully about how we and other people live. Drawing on our own poetry, and that of others, we explore how form affects meaning and ethnographic insight.
