ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines how multi-sited practice/theory enabled the research project. It sketches the discussions about 'sites' and 'the field' which point to an issue that deserves further analysis. The discussion shows how arrived at the particular conclusions about the co-production of emplacement by FoEI activists and their environmental relations. It was also pivotal in stimulating the sensitivity towards 'sites' and emplacement. Finally the practice/theory of multi-sited methodology equipped with an indication of what to pay attention to during fieldwork in order to explore, among other things, the non-face-to-face relations that kept FoEI 'hanging together'. The detachment of the 'social person' from the human organism and the non-human environment, in other words from their lived emplacement, is explicit in most of the literature. The chapter attempts to convey some of this diversity through a few aspects of FoEI activists' different experiences of emplacement.
