At the level of anthropological theory, then, the turn away from ideas of whole, separate “cultures” would appear to be fairly well established. Yet what such a shift might mean for ethnographic practice, we suggest, is still very much in the process of being worked out. As a way of clarifying the issues at stake and indicating some useful ways in which an ethnography “cultures” might proceed, we will begin by discussing two broad sets of issues that seem especially important to us. The first of these centers on questions of place and the way that culture is spatialized, whereas the second deals with issues raised by relationships between culture and power. These two overarching themes provide the basic organizational structure for the volume, with the first half concentrating on issues of culture and place and the second half highlighting questions of culture and power.
