"Co-habiting with Ghosts" adds to an emergent body of literature which is moving beyond the worn-out question “are ghosts real?”, and asking instead, what impact does experiencing “a ghost” (whatever that may or may not be) have for people in our rational modern world? Lipman is not attempting to explain away ghosts as many academics do, but rather takes the more difficult path of adopting a critical approach to trying to understand and make sense of them within the personal, social and spatial contexts they occur.

In each of the four chapters Wilkes takes the work of modernist artists and writers as his point of departure to unfold the “polyvocality” of Purbeck (page 141). Always sensitive to complexity, however, Wilkes moves beyond, but still with, these creative protagonists and their various imaginaries of Purbeck. He juxtaposes such imaginaries to, for example, military structures, radar experimentation and geological thought in order to highlight the discontinuities of meaning that play out across this landscape.

In this work, Quinney presents a series of photographs and short descriptive essays, or “field notes”, recording his life between 1983 and 2001 when he lived in the town of DeKalb in northern Illinois. Through this combination of photograph and text, Quinney invites the reader on a journey through his hometown and familiar landscapes at the end of the twentieth century.

Augé’s book does not characterize itself as a novel, nor is this an ethnography. Rather, it is “ethnofiction,” an intermingling of the two, blending together both ethnographic research and fictional narrative.

This edited collection comprises the outcome of a sustained, multidisciplinary and multi-locale study of the sites known as ushnus, which broadly refer to (sometimes raised slightly, or stepped) surfaces in which physical features (drainage holes, fissures) or use referred to cosmological, political and religious practices of the Inca Empire, and whose echoes can be identified today in certain ethnographic contexts of the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes.
