| Summary: | Being Ethnographic is an essential introductory guidebook to the methods and applications of doing fieldwork in real-world settings. It discusses the future of ethnography, explores how we understand identity, and sets out the role of technology in a global, networked society.Driven by classic and anecdotal case studies, this new Second Editionhighlights the challenges introduced by the ethnographers′ own interests, biases and ideologies, and demonstrates the importance of methodological reflexivity. Addressing both the whyand how questions of doing ethnography well, author Raymond Madden demonstrates how both theory and practice can work together to produce insights into the human condition. Filled with invaluable advice for applying ethnographic principles in the field, this fully updated text will give researchers across social sciences everything they need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. |
