This sketch gives me a clear idea of what this ethnography is about such as who are the main actors and notes that positionality is not addressed. I would like to know what an example of what the text had to say that was not so obvious.
This sketch proposed that this ethnography could be a museum exhibit or educational activity for young children.
I was most interested in the sketch's description of the structure of the ethnography. As Raymond mentioned, the A-Z Insectpedia structure "mocks the ieda that there can be any complete account of A-Z human insect relations." The ethnography documents several stories from people around the world interacting with insects.
There is an image of a grasshopper on the fron cover. The grasshoppper appears to be looking directly at the viewer. It somewhat made me feel like the animal knows me. There is also an ant crawling.
Under the insects is a an edorsement(?) from The New York Times. It draws in the reader.
The design of the text is much like an excyclopedia, A-Z. The are descriptions such as scientific research projects that follow with each new letter. There is also history interweaved throughout the text such as the chapter called, "Jews: that discusses how the Nazi regime employed the metaphor of insect.
This ethnography is about innerconnectedness of humans and insects around the world. This ethnography takes a unique approach by giving a account of A-Z human and insect relations. The author puts sciences and history in conversations with human and insect relations.
