Looking at encounters that can puncture or jolt us, this volume uses art as a lens through which to register and understand exceptional experiences. The volume also includes the fieldworker's experience of unexpected events that can lead to key understandings, as well as revelatory moments that happen during artistic creation and while looking at art. By exploring exceptional experiences through art, the volume asks probing questions for anthropology. In recognizing that art is all-encompassing - including, as it does, narrative, performance, dance and images - Exceptional Experiences situates itself within a number of conversations on methodological and conceptual issues in anthropology and beyond.

Industry Reviews

"This is a very well-conceived, multiangled volume, one sure to generate lively discussion and experiment - and that maintains the distinctiveness of each authorial voice while also bringing them into generative conversation with each other." â¢ Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz
