Anthropological endeavors have long used drawings as critical windows for exploring diverse worldviews, feelings, emotions, imaginations, and subjectivities regarding how researchers and research interlocutors place themselves in the world (Causey 2017; Guillemin 2004; Hendrickson 2010; Ingold 2011; Martin 1994; Pandolfo 1997; Taussig 2011). In light of these endeavors, this panel invites scholars to ponder anthropological sense-making, research, and writing. It welcomes proposals that challenge the conventional understanding of participant observation and think through embodied and affective ethnography that emerge from the intersections and divergences between conceptualizations of drawings as “anthropological data,” a “research method,” and a way of ‘seeing, experiencing, and interpreting the world.”
