Illuminating Spaces: Relational Spaces, Complicity, and Multisited Ethnography

Leif C. Gustavson

This article explores the perennial issue of social relations in ethnography. The authors argue for ethnographers to attend to and wrestle with what they describe as "relational spaces" during all phases of the research by considering these relational spaces as objects of study in and of themselves. De Certeau provided the theoretical foundation for their focus on the relational spaces of ethnography with his distinction between space and place. Using ethnographic essays from their own research with youth, the authors discuss how they engage with relational spaces, both intellectually and in practice, to deepen and build on Marcus's call for recognizing complicity in relation to multisited ethnography.

Key Words: ethnography • data analysis • space • youth
