archives and the onion of knowledge production
This is a short review by Chris Kelty (2009) discussing two books written by the anthropologist Johannes Fabian. The review focuses primarily on Ethnography as Commentary: Writing from the Virtual Archive (published in 2008, notably before social media really took off). While Fabian's ethnographic research is largely focused on language and popular culture in Africa, the book is discussing a digital archive (and open access journal) he founded.
