“…I would like to emphasize the necessity to not forget that working on the sonic dimension of the world and of our existence is an arbitrary cut-out: in Western sensorium, we tie 'sonic' to 'auditory' , but the 'auditory' modality is surely embedded in multisensory practices and competences. To go back to an uneasy multisensory ethnography that explores the multiplicity of sensorialities, as Puig did along with his team in Beirut (Kassatly et al 2016), seems to me unavoidable.…”

The last decade has seen an increase in academic literature in the humanities and social sciences on the sonic dimension of our world. This chapter asks 'what' sounds are of interest to ethnography, 'why' , and consequently 'how?' This chapter, like the rest of this Handbook, is dedicated to the thorny issue of methodologies. From a heuristic point of view, a method (i.e. 'how') is only worthwhile if it is based on the answers given to the first two questions, 'what' and 'why'. It is important to draw clear distinctions between these three questions, although they often overlap in the complex and varied context of ethnography (at least for ethnographies that are not fettered upstream of the fieldwork by theory and programmatic approach). Therefore, it goes without saying that I cannot suggest a 'good' and sound methodology to be used in doing ethnographic research, as it depends on the purposes and the context of the fieldwork; and also, as I think of the senses as interconnected and perceive the environment as a whole, an exclusive sonic modality or category will be avoided. I will give a quick and partial overview of ethnographies that are concerned with sound in order to present my own questions in a more precise and informed way. The journey I propose here does not quite illustrate a categorization that I would come to terms with, it is too incoherent as such, but it is rather a way of bringing about the different methodologies that are, or could be, used in sonic ethnography (Figure 49.1). Ethnomusicologists and their music Anthropology has inherited a great deal from a long tradition of Western musicology. Scholars of this field forged a range of tools and concepts to grapple with music. Music is a highly diverse social practice understood as organized and performed sounds which

With massive urbanization across the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region over recent decades, research in urban anthropology has intensified. During the 1970s intense population growth (demographic transition) and rural‐to‐urban migration attracted the attention of many anthropologists who studied the ruralization of the city and its capacity to integrate newcomers. Anthropologists (and geographers) addressed this concern by focusing on urban practices, especially those taking place on the margins of the city. Today, urban anthropology has become one of the most important empirical and analytical prisms for observing MENA societies. The main achievements and paradigms of urban anthropology in the MENA region are structured along three axes: urbanity and urban practices, public spaces, and urban culture.
