Angler endeavors to (inter)connect with the fish via technologized gazing, that is, by monitoring the screen of an echosounder-system. The subsurface observation of the posthuman fish, water, vegetation, or bottom is a messy combination of sensory ethnography and multi-species ethnography.
The Sonar-o-graphy pursues to engage with the fish via a “distant” technique without actual close “contact zones”. The novel echosounder-systems enable “hyper-extend” visual perceptions, offering new ways of sensing the water world. An analysis is not so much on the echosounder as an object but as assemblages of the vertical depth. In point of connections at which human and nonhuman agencies come into contact. In angling, socio-technical assemblage organizes between the echosounder and the bodies of the angler and water.
Digital technology leverages data from more-than-human bodily movements and sensations, which increases multi-species knowledge and sensory knowledge practices. The embodied Sonar-o-graphy technique emerges when the researcher applies emphatic perspectives into a new postnatural sensorium. Enabling reflexively to bear the meaningful other experiences, what humans could feel as animal sensations. Thereby it provides possibilities for human-animal communication through sensory-rich body language. The aspiration is to create a pearl of connective sensory wisdom and embodied understanding between the studied nonhuman and the human—the best of both worlds.

| Muu | Relations have been called ”the master concept of anthropology”, yet recent advances have also drawn our attention to the question of un-related or post-relational beings, things and phenomena. Either way this shows how relation and relationality are too central to anthropology to become outdated. The concept has gained new relevance with the changes which anthropology as a discipline has been going through in recent decades. Among such developments are our increased awareness of the anthropocene, beyond-human ethnographies, renewed interest in ethics and co-creation of knowledge, and connected to that the limits of relations and the question of ”what comes next”, hence ”un-relations” or ”post-relations”. |
