- Drawing on twenty years of research with persons living with HIV/AIDS, the book researches the lived experiences and imaginative lifeworlds of people close to death. Intensive and repeated fieldwork (1998-2001, 2010-2011 and 2011-2013) was needed to build trusting relationships. The ethnographic focus—on the streams of inner dialogue, expression and imagination that constitute experiences of terminal illness—is a new field for anthropology. It necessitated the innovative use of film and mobile methods, developing new modes of performative cartography, such as the sampling (using portable digital technologies) of people’s multi-sited experience, and the use of “walking fieldwork”.
