This ethnographic comic presents research that was conducted in Makhanda (previously Grahamstown) in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The comic only tells a partial story, based on ethnographic and historical research, relating to soccer, nostalgia, hope and violence. It shifts between contemporary soccer spaces and memories of the formation of the first official township clubs in the early 1970s and the Grahamstown Soccer Association (GRASA) in 1975. The use of comics for research dissemination and forms of knowledge translation is becoming increasingly common across a number of academic disciplines including anthropology. The comic I present in this section highlights how drawing and the creation of comics aligns with ethnographic sensibilities that allow for exploring uncertain paths and taking detours within the research process.

这本民族志漫画书介绍了在南非东开普省的Makhanda（以前的Grahamstown）进行的研究。该漫画仅根据民族志和历史研究讲述了与足球，怀旧，希望和暴力有关的部分故事。它在当代足球空间和对1970年代初期第一个官方乡镇俱乐部的成立以及1975年Grahamstown足球协会（GRASA）成立的记忆之间进行转换。漫画在研究传播和知识翻译形式中的使用在整个社区中变得越来越普遍。包括人类学在内的许多学科。我在本节中介绍的漫画着重介绍了漫画的绘画和创作方式与人种学的敏感性相一致，从而可以探索不确定的路径并在研究过程中走弯路。
