Postscript: When Your Field Goes Online ReferencesReviewsThis is a beautiful book. It presents a highly readable and insightful account of how doing ethnography helps us build theories of language in social life. For the novice, it offers rich accounts that model and exemplify the doing of ethnography. For old-timers, this second edition illuminates the challenges and rewards of exploring the online-offline nexus. * Zane Goebel, The University of Queensland, Australia * This book provides a precise and practical approach to linguistic fieldwork. It does so not only by reaffirming ethnography's core principles but also by updating this method to study communicative practices in the online-offline nexus. Blommaert and Dong provide a welcome reframing of the discipline, in which theoretical reasoning equals practical problem-solving and 'subjectivity' is an indispensable and crucial tool. * Marco Jacquemet, University of San Francisco, USA * This book takes the reader into a wonderfully complex, multivocal conversation on ethnographic practice. The new edition successfully extends these conversations into the ever more 'ethnographically thick' realm of online socialisation and subjectivation. It provides guidance and insights which are edifying and superbly didactic for beginners while profoundly inspiring for advanced scholars. * Karel Arnaut, KU Leuven, Belgium * This is a beautiful book.

To do so, they track the theoretical and methodological changes that emerged since the book was first published ten years ago [...] An important advance of the book is its focus on the inseparability of life offline and online. The authors highlight the affordances and difficulties this nexus presents for ethnographers. -- Carlos Henrique Bem Goncalves, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil * Language in Society 50 (2021) * This book takes the reader into a wonderfully complex, multivocal conversation on ethnographic practice.
