Actually, there has been a lot more thinking about postmodern ethnography within sociology than anthropology. One place to start would be Norman Denzin's INTERPRETIVE ETHNOGRAPHY and then the Handbook of Qualitative Research he edited with Yvonne Lincoln. Both are published by Sage. Andrew Herman, Ph. D.

It depends on what you want in reading about postmodern ethnography. Are you interested in the overall goal of ethnographic work? Or about the methods employed by ethnographers that blur the distinction between researcher, researched, and audience? Are you interested in justifying this type of work, or learning some of the possibilities for writing/researching in this vein? Many scholars writing what they call Alternative Ethnography take Tyler's concepts and develop them in intriguing ways. You can find many examples of postmodern ethnography there. Others writing about methodology discuss engagement in context, writing as inquiry, and representation of voice in ways that develop Tyler's discussions of evocation. Literature is out there, definitely. Can you give a more specific idea about what you're looking for within the broad category of postmodern ethnography?
