Paparazzi Ethnography

Summer 2010 – Winter 2017

Paparazzi Ethnography is an archival fieldwork and image repository documenting long-term ethnographic travel, workshops, conferences, and institutional environments across the Arctic, Europe, and the global North.

Developed between 2010–2017 through research supported by the US National Science Foundation, Fulbright Program, and Wenner-Gren Foundation the site forms part of a broader intellectual trajectory leading to later projects including Inside the Energy Salon, Excursions, StudioPolar, and journal as well as ongoing work on expertise, infrastructure, and strategic environments.

Arthur Mason is Associate Professor of Social Anthropology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and maintains research affiliations with the London School of Economics, SOAS University of London, and the University of St Andrews.
