Introduction: Skilled mediations.

Abstract

In this special section, we conceptualise 'Skilled mediations' to examine the following questions from several ethnographic perspectives: How do skills and media interact, enable and limit our engagement in our material and social environments? How can this be studied ethnographically? We take our previous works on 'skilled visions' and 'enskilment' as starting points to define skilled mediation as a mode of engagement with the senses, practice, skill and media.
