Paper long abstract:
This paper examines the value of multi-sited ethnographic approaches, both for anthropological and interdisciplinary studies of global socio-cultural fields. Through my experience working with hip hop dance practitioners across different localities, I address some of the merits, challenges and limits of employing multi-sited ethnographic approaches. My discussions illustrate the importance of the researchers' position, their questions and the field itself, with regards to the merits of this approach. This contributes towards contemporary debates, within anthropology and sociology, about the limits of empirical research within globally interconnected (and disconnected) cultural fields.
