In this paper I outline a fresh approach to writing about live arts-based events that is designed to capture the cultural value of participation: experiential literary ethnography.
Paper long abstract:
In the course of my research into live literature, I developed an experiential and literary approach to ethnography that is designed to capture the cultural value of participation in live literature and other arts-based events. In this paper I will introduce the approach, discuss how it evolved, and outline its potential application in other contexts.
