field to fiction is based on small collaborations between anthropologists and fiction writers

anthropologists contribute material from their work: field notes, published texts, interviews, or observations

writers respond by developing a piece of fiction that emerges from this material

collaborations may involve conversations, informal meetings, and other exchanges between the participants

the process explores what happens when ethnographic situations, voices, and tensions are expressed in a fictional form

each collaboration is published as story files, documenting source material, fiction, and brief reflections on the process
