摘要: While the focus on ‘everyday’ in qualitative human geography has greatly increased need for, and relevance of, ethnographic methods, Megoran argued that this is particularly true for political as it potential to challenge its elite discourse, allowing researchers bring forward multiple voices investigate becoming of events. More recently, assemblage theory gained traction geography, not only because capability include role material affective, but also revealing links between micro- macro-politics by showing how agency emerges out complex relations. In first part paper, we present an overview recent uses ethnography have embraced assemblage. Second, explore theoretical conceptualisations opportunities provided by, approach. Third, go through use ethnographies with a particular Pooya's experience research Iranians London. this, he variety approaches, including ‘auto-ethnography’, ‘netnographies’, ‘participant sensation’, combination observations, participatory workshops activism. Showing tool geographers interrogate discursive social constructions, argue holds even more promise analysing intervening emergent politics socio-material-affective assemblages.
