Description

Thoroughly updated and substantially rewritten, this edition of this popular textbook is now even more relevant and useful for students and researchers. The new material includes: chapters on the use of visual research methods, recent advances in feminist theory, new regimes of research regulation and a new conclusion. "Ethnography" provides a systematic and coherent account of ethnographic principles and practice. Rejecting the over-simplified contrast between 'positivism' and 'naturalism', but also questioning more recent critiques of these positions, the authors argue that ethnography is best understood as a reflexive process. Above all, what this means is that we must recognize that social research is part of the world that it studies. From an outline of the principle of reflexivity in chapter one, the authors go on to discuss and exemplify the main features of ethnographic work: the selection and sampling of cases; the problems of access; observation and interviewing; recording and filing data; the process of data analysis; and writing research reports. There is also consideration of the ethical issues surrounding ethnographic research.
