ABSTRACT
In early September 2011, the author was enthralled to watch his three-year-old daughter singing over a nursery rhyme book that she could not read. She showed in her songs and actions that despite not knowing what the words were on the page, she could very well imagine scenarios and plots that related to the pictures. The incident serves as a way of introducing his theme in this chapter. The author proposes the imagination as a space of emergence, and anthropology as a kind of making in that space, a making that requires always attending to specific and located actions. In ethnographic relations, imagination is a condition and an outcome, a particular space for imagination that is conditioned by real interlocution and discussion, but is also a space of possibility, a space for the crafting of communication between persons based on a certain mutual possession.
