ABSTRACT This article makes the case for Posthumanist Institutional Ethnography (PIE). In doing so, it builds on and diverges from Dorothy E. Smith’s post-structural work on Institutional Ethnography (IE), and speaks into recent discussions on the contested nature of ethnography. Drawing on the work of Donna Haraway, Karen Barad and Jane Bennet, and on empirical data from two recent projects, the article argues that PIE, in contesting human exceptionalism, places the human in relation to other-than-human objects, bodies and materialities, and thereby radically recasts ontology, epistemology, and ethics. Six features of PIE are identified. These features are put to work via an analysis of material moments which illuminate how gendered inequalities are produced, enacted and materialised in complex institutional ecologies. The article’s theoretical and methodological contributions provide new insights into the fluid, ephemeral and affective materialisation of gendered politics in institutions.

迈向后人文主义的民族志学：粘性物质和性别主体

摘要本文为后人文主义民族志（PIE）提供了理由。在此过程中，它以多萝西·史密斯（Dorothy E. Smith）关于制度民族志（IE）的后结构性工作为基础，并与之不同，并在最近有关民族志争议性质的讨论中发表了讲话。文章借鉴了Donna Haraway，Karen Barad和Jane Bennet的工作以及最近两个项目的经验数据，认为PIE在对抗人类例外主义时将人类与非人类的物体，身体和物质联系起来，从而从根本上重塑本体论，认识论和伦理学。确定了PIE的六个功能。这些功能通过对重要时刻的分析来发挥作用，阐明了在复杂的制度生态中如何产生，制定和实现性别不平等。
