  Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes

   » ‎ Anthropological Fieldwork
  In "Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes", Emerson, Fretz and Shaw stress the importance of method in that method cannot be separated from "findings".(p.11). The two go hand in hand, as how we go about finding something determines what we will in fact ...

   » ‎ Anthropological Fieldwork
  Agar makes one very important point regarding train of thought during an ethnographic project. I think that it has a lot to do with ethnocentrism as well. He says to attempt a clear mind when studying the "other" and to ...

  One thing related to the concept of the "field" as well as the "other" as discussed by Amit is the lack of undiscovered areas of our world. There are no more "exotic and undiscovered" places that once made anthropological fieldwork ...

  on comparing anthropology to sociology

  I think that the issue of redefining what constitutes the "field" in anthropology when considering "home" and "away" leads us to compare methods and subject matter between the two disciplines of anthropology and sociology. We seem to agree on the ...
