(ed.) I had made the first of a long sequence of border crossings that all bikers go through if they hope to get close to a club. And one can raise questions about the levels of remuneration offered to bread workers compared to managing directors and shareholders of bakery firms. Fielding, N. and Fielding, J.L. Expertise and knowledge may also be of value in the field as a basis for establishing reciprocity with participants. For example, Thomas and Znaniecki (1927) in The Polish Peasant in Europe and America generally regarded as an early classic of American sociology relied substantially on written documents, mainly letters but also a life history. But if we wish to gain control over the resources of style, then it will repay us to read critically both works, and others like them. Hammersley, M. (1989a) The Dilemma of Qualitative Method: Herbert Blumer and the Chicago Tradition, London: Routledge. Relatedly, in her fieldwork in Brazil in the late 1930s, Landes (1986) was accused of seeking vigorous men to do more than carry her luggage. Furthermore, it has been influenced by a range of theoretical ideas: anthropological and sociological functionalism, philosophical pragmatism and symbolic interactionism, Marxism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, structuralism, feminism, constructionism, post-structuralism and postmodernism. Everybody up! Wolcott, H.F. (2001) Writing Up Qualitative Research, 2nd edn, Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. This is why we find so many ethnographic authors using the textual strategy of vignettes and data extracts. 54, 155n6, 210, 211 fieldnotes 4, 61, 1417, 148, 151; concept generation 162, 163; data organization 1523, 155; see also analytic notes fieldwork 1, 160; stresses of 8994; termination of 946 fieldwork journals 1512 Finch, J. See also Hammersley (2004). (2016). Some potentially fruitful lines of inquiry may be rendered practically impossible, in so far as the complete participant has to act in accordance with existing role expectations. . On the other hand, persuasion 206 Writing ethnography is not the whole story. A similar instance is provided by Zerubavel (1979) in his formal analysis of time in hospitals; he necessarily draws on such sources as timetables, work rosters and clinical rotations, as embodied in organizational documents. These symbols of membership signified to others my public commitment to share the risks of the police life. What is at issue is not to deceive or not to deceive in abstract, but what and how much to tell whom on what occasion. There are, of course, some clear examples that can be drawn on for inspiration. However, this term is by no means unusual in lacking a single, standard meaning. A problem that the ethnographer often faces in the course of fieldwork is deciding how much self-disclosure is appropriate or fruitful. What gives you the right to come here and start asking us these personal questions about our families and that? (1972) Respondents intrusion upon the situation: the problem of interviewing subjects with special qualities, Sociological Quarterly, 13: 23743. . Equally important, ethnographers will often take note of behaviour that is below peoples level of consciousness: in other words, which is routinely ignored or not even noticed for practical purposes. Is the talk among people in a bar public or private? (1967a) Comment reported in R.J. Hill and K. Stones Crittenden (eds) Proceedings of the Purdue Symposium on Ethnomethodology, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Department of Sociology, Purdue University, IN. . Emerson, R.M. Negotiating access also involves ethical considerations, for example to do with whose permission ought to be asked, as well as whose needs to be obtained if initial access is to be granted. The completion of fieldnotes is not an entirely straightforward matter, then. The more recent concept community of practice (see Lave and Wenger 1991), which was originally developed through an anthropological study of Liberian tailors, also encourages this tendency (Hammersley 2005b). Angela (to Patricia): Probably the way you shout, you probably frighten them to death. Curtis, J.E. Warren (1988) reports the research of one of her students Liz Brunner among homeless people: During her fieldwork, Liz slept, drank, talked, and shared meals with the homeless on Los Angeles streets almost all of whom were male. The sort of analysis we have in mind is illustrated by treatments of scientists accounts of scientific discoveries (Gilbert and Mulkay 1984; Atkinson et al. Adler, P.A. Salvador, T., Bell, G. and Anderson, K. (1999) Design ethnography, Design Management Journal, 10, 4: 3541. Of course, as we saw in Chapter 5, these two forms of analysis are complementary. A critique of false consciousness, in L. Barton and S. Walker (eds) Schools, Teachers and Teaching, Lewes, UK: Falmer. This happened through a shift in attention from what was said or done to how it was said or done. From the perspective of the marginal reflexive ethnographer, there can thus be no question of total commitment, surrender, or becoming. At the local level, Herzfeld (2004) describes the relationships between master craftsmen and their apprentices. But, in an important sense, the novice is also acting like a social scientist: making observations and inferences, asking informants, constructing hypotheses, and acting on them. McCall and J.L. That trend has continued, fuelled by a virtuous circle of research funding, postgraduate and postdoctoral opportunities, and the interests of commercial publishers. Matthew Williams (2006), for instance, has undertaken an ethnographic study of multi-user domains (MUDs) in which participants can take on virtual identities (avatars), and interact with one another in virtual worlds. As we have noted, interviews and conversations are important aspects of all fieldwork, but they cannot substitute for proper observation and examination of socially organized action. (2005) Aria in time of war: investigative poetry and the politics of witnessing, in N.K. I told him of my purely scientific interests and experience and, as best I could, why I had deceived him earlier. Theoretical ideas, common-sense expectations, and stereotypes often play a key role. Visual materials, and representations of material culture, are key aspects of such research. The volume offers a systematic introduction to ethnographic principles and practice, and includes a new chapter on 'Ethnography in the digital world'. Lerner and R.D. Some of these will be fairly obvious, others less so. 218 estrangement 801 ethical absolutism 219 ethical issues 20929; access 423; consequences for future research 21819; covert research 53; diverse perspectives 21920; exploitation 21718; harm 21317; informed consent 21012; privacy 21213; regulation 2257; respondent validation 183; self-disclosure 109; termination of fieldwork 95 ethical relativism 220 ethical situationism 219, 221 ethics committees 423, 225, 226, 227 ethnicity 51, 73, 75, 76 ethno-archaeology 135 ethnology 1 ethnomethodology 130, 131 ethnoscience 163 etic categories 194 Evans, A.D. 104 Evans-Pritchard, E.E. The question of rapport applies in two senses, both of which may be glossed as issues of identification. These by no means exhaust the possibilities, but they do indicate the range of perspectives to be found in the literature.9 First, there is what we might call ethical absolutism. Im freezing. She rose, put on a kimono, and walked out of her dressing room and started talking to another stripper. Studies in Symbolic Interaction, vol. On the one hand I was angry at myself for not recording and analyzing the category systems, on the other hand I was tired and found it more natural to sit with teachers and engage in small talk. Field Methods in the Study of Education, Lewes, UK: Falmer. . For over a half an hour she responded to our inquiries in what we perceived as a seductive voice, and her answers were often suggestive. It seemed that these were being described in ways designed to make them conform to the particular clinical requirements of the trial. . It is concerned with studying people in their cultural context and how their behaviour, either as individuals or as part of a group, is influenced by this cultural context. Lincoln, Y.S. (2002) Transcription quality, in J.F. This is most obvious in the case of interviewing, an interactional format in which researchers play a key role through the questions they ask and their responses to answers, however non-directive the interview is. Brewer (2000:134) argues that ethnographic accounts should be structured by the following: Describing the context Number of participants (esp. Smart, C. (1984) The Ties that Bind: Law, Marriage and the Reproduction of Patriarchal Relations, London: Routledge & Kegan Paul. It is only when we begin to understand that the imagination works via analogies and metaphors that this becomes plain. Gubrium, J.F. Images of various kinds are often part of the documents that are generated via organizational work, for example prospectuses for schools and universities, brochures of various kinds, the pictures (in print and online) that play a key role in the buying and selling of houses, etc. There has been considerable scholarly interest in what conventions can be identified and how they are deployed in ethnographic writing. Such accounts can be used, with appropriate caution, for comparative purposes. As van Maanen points out, it has been quite common for ethnographers to publish the ethnography as a relatively impersonal, authoritative account, and then to produce one or more accounts of how I did it. (eds) (2002) Handbook of Interview Research: Context and Method, Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. So, as we have already noted, the availability of audio-recording does not remove the necessity for the writing of fieldnotes. His presence transformed the interview; he altered the questioning, the womans answers and sometimes he joined in. Hammersley, M. (2005b) What can the literature on communities of practice tell us about educational research? Emmison, M. and Smith, P. (2000) Researching the Visual, London: Sage. I found out quickly that outsiders, even bikers, do not rush into a club, and that anyone who doesnt show the proper restraint will be shut out. Czarniawska, B. Any extended preliminary observation will make it objectively obvious that the gay community is divided fairly loosely at the boundaries into a hierarchy linked to some extent with status and class criteria in the real world. Consider making a donation by buying points. 778, 84 Corsino 70 counterculture 1745 covert research 538, 77, 89; audience considerations 1778; complete participation 824; ethical issues 210, 211, 222; field roles 85; impression management 66, 69; Machiavellianism 220; note-taking 1423; personal characteristics of researcher 73 craft workers 189 creative imagination 162 Cressey, D. 186 crime: categorization of crimes 130; organized 556 critic model 60, 82 Crow, G. 227 cultural assumptions 232 cultural relativism 1011 cultural studies 2, 1367 culture shock 81 Currer, C. 23, 85, 110 cyber-ethnography 138 Dalton, M. 82 Dartington Hall School 21415 data analysis 1567, 15890; comparative method 1858; concept generation 1626; concepts and indicators 1745; culture of fragmentation 155; emphasis on action 16871; grounded theorizing 1668; personnel 1801; respondent validation 1813; social context 1769; time 17980; triangulation 1835; types of theory 1889; typologies 1724 data collection 34, 14057, 160, 163; analytic notes 1501; audio-recording 127n4, 140, 141, 1478, 150; complete participation 84; documents 126, 127, 1401; field roles 86, 96; fieldnotes 1417; grounded theorizing 159; hypermedia environment 2067, 208; journals 1512; negotiation of access 612; oral accounts 102; positivism 6, 8; sampling of persons 38; selection of settings 289, 30; temporal variation 37; transcription 14950; triangulation 1834; video-recording 140, 141, 1489, 150 data organization 1526 data ownership 213 Index 269 1EEE 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 EEE3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 1 2 3 4 5EEE 6 7 8 9 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 41EEE Davies, R.M. . Reflexivity carries an important message in the field of ethics, as it does in relation to other aspects of ethnography. How are they read? I was sitting talking to Millie on the 30th of the month when a man I recognized as a policeman came through the door and went into the managers office. Throughout, the discussion draws on a wide range of illustrative material from classic and more recent studies, within a global context. Thus Olesen traces the origins of her research on temporary clerical workers to her own experience supporting herself as a student by working in a typing pool (Olesen 1990: 214). Equally, often the time is simply not available to interview a large sample. Coffey, A., Renold, E., Dicks, B. and Mason, B. However, the absence of detailed knowledge of a phenomenon or process itself represents a useful starting point for research. This can be done relatively quickly, but it may only be of value if there will be easy future return access to the documentary sources concerned. 11213, 1289, 220 dress 668, 109 drug users 75, 100, 144, 1945 Dumit, J. The first of these commitments requires that we always begin from the assumption that peoples behaviour is intelligible and rational even if at first sight it seems nonsensical, pointless, or simply evil. . Finally, there is micro-substantive research on particular types of organization or situation: for instance, Strong (2001) on doctorpatient interaction or Hobbs (1988) on detectives and the informal economy in the East End of London. 203 Sheridan, D. 126 Shils, E. 219, 221 ships 30, 41, 50 shyness 138 Simmel, G. 36 Simons, Helen 11112 single study model 1856 situated vocabularies 145 situational analysis 167 Sjoberg, G. 123 Skipper, J.K. 11516 Skolnick, J.

(1978) On the analysis of observational data: a discussion of the worth and uses of inductive techniques and respondent validation, Sociology, 12, 3: 54552. Tashakkori, A. and Teddlie, C. (eds) (2003) Handbook of Mixed Methods in Social and Behavioral Research, Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. There is a good deal to be learned from a comparative reading of, say, Thomas Manns (1996) The Magic Mountain and Betty MacDonalds (1948) The Plague and I, together with Julius Roths (1963) ethnography of everyday life in a TB sanatorium, and perhaps also Susan Sontag (1979) on images of tuberculosis. Further, the overall significance of the ethnographic monograph may be conveyed through its narrative structures: Beyond the fragmentary narratives of persons and circumstances are the metanarratives that shape the ethnography overall. (Ryan 2006: 1556) Sometimes, initial contacts may completely transform research plans. I asked the manager of the cardroom I played in most to go to lunch with me. (1993) Local knowledge and local power: notes on the ethnography of local community elites, Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, 22, 1: 3658. These are the sorts of relationships among categories that ethnographers look out for. In the first place she notes a general problem of access to such an elite: Introducing myself as a sociology graduate student, I had very limited success in getting by the gatekeepers of the executive world. Wright, M. (1981) Coming to terms with death: patient care in a hospice for the terminally ill, in P. Atkinson and C. Heath (eds) Medical Work: Realities and Routines, Farnborough, UK: Gower. . This was partially breached when a village baker started to take Barrett round and introduce him to others. . approach to street experiences. Beoku-Betts, J. It is worth emphasizing the contingencies involved in these processes, however. The two are inextricably linked, no doubt, but they have to be developed in partnership. The kinds of textual approaches that are possible include thematic and chronological arrangements. The ethnographer, like any other social scientist, may well draw on such documents and representations. In this process we are not only deciding what is and is not relevant to the case under study but also usually sampling from the data available in the case. 193 Macdonald, S. 135 Machiavellianism 220 macro theory 188, 189 Magee, K. 65, 76 malestream writing 203 Malinowski, B. Hine, C. It offers a systematic introduction to ethnographic principles and practice. Patience and diplomacy are often at a premium here, though sometimes boldness is also required. The sources may be drawn from diverse origins. Although it has been argued that ethnography is purely a data collection method, epistemologically it is about immersion in a culture and the artistry of seeing, learning and interpreting reality by engaging with participants, either overtly or covertly in their natural environment. (1985b) Strategies of Educational Research: Qualitative Methods, Lewes, UK: Falmer. In contrast to the complete participant, the complete observer has no contact at all with those he or she is observing. (ed.) Nevertheless, sexual harassment, at the very least, can be a problem. These can then be assessed for the extent to which they capture the desired dimensions or categories; the appropriateness of connotations; their value in suggesting new lines of analysis and comparison. Debates and Developments in Ethnographic Methodology, Studies in Educational Ethnography, vol. 41 feminism 2, 13, 14, 217; critique of malestream writing 203; documentary sources 124; self-disclosure 72 Festinger, L. 21, 57 fiction 125, 192, 204 field relations 6396; ethical issues 214; impression management 6673; marginality 869; personal characteristics of researcher 739; strains and stresses 8994; termination of fieldwork 946 field roles 7986, 96 Fielding, N.G. Perhaps the notion of friendships is too narrow and ill-defined to account for these other kinds of adolescent relationships. Thus, Strong (2001) studied 1000 cases of paediatric consultation in three hospitals, two in Britain and one in the United States. Blanche Geers (1964) famous account of her first days in the field is a classic exemplification of the place of assumptions and stereotypes in the development of analytic themes. Maxwell, J.A. This paper is based on an organizational ethnography study (Pedersen & Humle, 2016) done between 2015 and 2017 concentrating on the establishment of the cardiac Day Unit. Furthermore, over the years, ethnography has been influenced by a range of theoretical ideas: anthropological and sociological functionalism, philosophical pragmatism and symbolic interactionism, Marxism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, structuralism, feminism, constructionism, post-structuralism, postmodernism, and (most recently) the ontological turn in anthropology and new materialisms (Henare et al. The collection and display of objects is an important feature of mundane home cultures, for instance. In addition, they failed to pick up the cross-sex friendships that were established at this time. There must always remain some part held back, some social and intellectual distance. Bloor then discussed the reports in interviews with the doctors. (Mehan 1974: 249) Such indeterminacy of interpretation undermines attempts to develop standard measures of human behaviour. An influential example of an ideal type in the work of Max Weber is the notion of bureaucracy. However, it is unclear to us how sensitizing concepts can be adequate for the later stages of analysis; see Hammersley (1989a, 1989b). It is, however, important to recognize that how we write reflects directly on what we write about. Studies in Qualitative Methodology, vol. For one thing, as we argued in Chapter 1, research never starts from scratch; it always relies on common-sense knowledge to one degree or another. Issues in Educational Research: Qualitative Methods, Lewes, UK: Falmer. Selection of informants must be based on the best judgements one can make in the circumstances. It is important that the presence and significance of such theories are recognized and that they are explicated as fully as necessary and, at some point, systematically developed and tested.14 There is only one way of testing causal relations the comparative method though there are different ways of using it. (1960) Social theory in field research, American Journal of Sociology, 65: 57784. . Long bursts of observation, uninterrupted by periods of reflexive recording, will thus tend to result in data of poor quality. Denzin and Y.S. (1989) Marks on the Memory: Experiencing School, Milton Keynes: Buckingham, Open University Press. (1956) informed the apocalyptic religious group they were studying not only that the research was taking place but also about the hypothesis under investigation, this would almost certainly have undermined the validity of their research. There is always considerable variation in the nature of the relations an ethnographer has with different participants in the field, and this will often reflect the extent to which the latter are willing to be involved in the research. 2007; Alberti et al. There are always many ways we could write about the social phenomena with which our research is concerned. Indeed, attempts to go beyond this, for instance to explain particular cultural forms, are sometimes discouraged. Paradoxically, perhaps, while Glaser accused Strauss of rendering grounded theorizing improperly formulaic, Glaser himself wanted to use the strategy to produce generic concepts that were independent of the contexts of their discovery, or of the agents who produced them (the researchers), while Strauss typically stressed that theory is always grounded in the work of the analysts themselves and does not simply reside in the data. Gatekeepers or other powerful figures in the field sometimes attempt to select interviewees for the ethnographer. Even where the researcher is available to monitor the initial encounters between a teacher and pupils, the teacher is, not unreasonably, reluctant to be observed at this stage. (Gouldner 1954: 2556) Sampson (2004) reports a similar problem in her research aboard ship: my presence was not welcomed by the Captain (again despite full access being granted by the company) and this resulted in an extremely unpleasant and personally threatening experience that lasted for a period of 16 days isolated from the land (Sampson 2004: 390). A striking example of this is to be found in the writings of conflict methodologists. Clearly, such alternative interpretations have serious implications for the character and validity of the analysis produced (see Hammersley 1990: ch 3). . Documentary sources may be drawn on to recuperate the otherwise muted voices of women and other dominated groups, and feminist scholarship particularly affirms the intersection of the personal and the social (Stanley 1992; Evans 1993). An understanding of textual practices should not result in a textual free-for-all. Walker, J.C. (1988) Louts and Legends, Sydney: Allen & Unwin. There is, of course no single, right way to do it. The origins of the official statistics debate in sociology were potentially misleading, important though the general perspective was. Chapter 31. In addition to Sudnows ethnographic study of crime rates, other studies of the same period included those of Cicourel (1967) on juvenile justice, and of Cicourel and Kitsuse (1963) on the organization of educational decision-making, the categorization of students, and their official biographies.
