Nevertheless, in an era of health risks brought about by a global pandemic, social distancing rules have become the new norm, and will remain in the foreseeable future. Where ethnography involves the insertion of the researcher in a community with close person-to-person communication and participation in the community, the restrictions of infection preventive interventions make such endeavour difficult, if not impossible \u2013 laying to waste the operationality of traditional ethnographic fieldwork. What, then, lies in the future of ethnography? This piece suggests for a re-imagination of the constitution of ethnography, and to where it may lead in postcoronavirus times.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong>
