dia-ethnographic

is a methodology of traversing the ethos insofar as 'dia' denotes across, through, throughout, between, after, scattering, and marking.

Dia denotes relation and/or motion: throughout (tempo ral), across, through (something), between or after, through (the instrument or means or manner through which a thing is achieved), mark (a place or space in a line), scatter (spaced inter vals). Hence, diachronic, diagrammatic, diagnostic, diasporic, and a term I will return to, dialectic. The texts assembled here are dia-ethnographic, then, in the sense of traversing the ethos.
