Ten innovative ethnographic projects demonstrate how new and more complicated locations of research from the boardrooms of multinational corporations to the chat rooms of the Internet are giving rise to shifts in the character of both fieldwork and fieldworker. They also affirm that social scientists participate in a regime of power and knowledge similar to those found in corporations, the military, finance, politics, and science and technology.

Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an enjoyable and stimulating collection of essays dealing from very diverse angles with a wide variety of social and cultural events and institutions. Though centred primarily on the USA, the authors offer analytical insights that are easily transposable for research in other Western capitalist societies.
