Multispecies Ethnography and Artful Methods explores the potential of multimodal art practices in doing qualitative research beyond the human. Through artful endeavours such as creative writing, photography, filmmaking, drawing and poetry, the volume aims to overcome the shortcomings of conventional, anthropocentric and logocentric methods in multispecies research. To move beyond the limitations of language and linguistic communication, the contributors build on the long tradition of visual and sensory anthropology while also engaging in and consciously reflecting on innovative, creative and artistic methods. Taking a multispecies and more-than-human perspective - ranging from snow and trees to animals and an AI oracle - the volume investigates ways to touch, speak, listen, feel, walk with and reach across different species.This book and accompanying multimedia website advance the frontier of publishing artful expressions of academic research by highlighting how creative practices can be the very core of data collection, analysis and the communication of research. As such, the artful pieces are not 'just' illustrations of textual representations, but are practised as part of an iterative process of data collection and analysis. The contributions by well-established scholars, early career researchers and postgraduates who carry out new, cutting-edge research offer an engaging range of analytical, methodological and empiric orientations, while conversing at the intersection of multispecies ethnography and artful methods.

This book explores the multispecies triad of cattle ranching, focusing on how humans, horses, and cattle meet, interact, and shape a common multispecies culture. Based on a year of horseback ethnography in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, it provides a detailed account of the everyday lives of cowboys, cowboying women, and ranchers as well as of horses and cattle. It highlights the different ways that humans, horses, and cattle come together on working ranches and in settings such as rodeos and tourist operations inspired by the American West. By focusing, empirically and conceptually, on the multispecies triad, the author moves beyond binary human–animal approaches and develops the idea of multispecies intersectionality. In particular, this brings a gender perspective to the kinds of interactions that the various seasons in the Rockies require. Furthermore, the author discusses the possibilities of a multispecies concept of power by engaging empirically, conceptually, and methodologically the "energy bubbles" with which humans, horses, and cattle communicate with and move each other. The chapters also feature examples of artful methods such as ethnographic poetry including rhyming field notes as well as field drawings and analytical drawings. With this, the book showcases the use of sensory data collection and creative and artful methodologies that allow for the capture of what lies beyond human language in multispecies interactions.
