innovative ethnography by manga, Southeast Asia.

This 20 page ethnography example will interest those who like to think about ethnographic forms.

We have heard that "the medium is the message" (Marshall McLuhan). I think he was talking about TV: no matter what content is presented the *medium* tells the viewers something about the structure of information, authority, reality and worldview.

So manga-ethnography is an interesting idea!
 
Here is the abstract from the linked page, below

Abstract

This is an excerpt from The King of Bangkok. Originally appearing in Chapter 3, the section we present is a flashback that follows the book's protagonist, Nok, on his journey to the island of Koh Pha-Ngan in the Gulf of Thailand. Nok has secured work on a construction site there during the height of the country's economic boom. The section demonstrates how opportunity and precarity, excitement and devastation are fundamental forces animating and shaping the experiences of migrant workers like Nok.
