Abstract:
This Special Issue engages current debates on creative-collaborative methods (CCMs) as a means of reconfiguring qualitative knowledge production beyond conventional hierarchies. Bringing together arts-based, participatory, community-oriented, and digitally mediated approaches, the contributions foreground collaboration as an ethical and methodological orientation within ethnographic research on mobility. Central to the issue is the notion of reflexive devices: situated field practices that operate simultaneously as methodological tools and ethical propositions. These devices foreground care, reciprocity, and accountability across conditions of (im)mobility. Collectively, the articles reimagine ethnography as a reflexive, relational process through which methodological innovation emerges from epistemic responsibility.
