{"product_id":"approaches-to-ethnography-colin-jerolmack-9780190236052","title":"Approaches to Ethnography: Analysis and Representation in Participant Observation","description":"No ethnographer can record and analyze everything that she encounters in the field. We must make choices about what to look at and how to look at it, which means privileging some aspects of social life while bracketing others. \u003cem\u003eApproaches to Ethnography \u003c\/em\u003eenumerates the key analytic strategies-which Jerolmack and Khan call approaches-that ethnographers deploy to tame the buzzing confusion of the social world. The book identifies eight approaches that typify ethnography, which it groups and compares along four axes: 1) Micro, organizational, and macro; 2) people and places, and mechanisms; 3) dispositions and situations; and 4) reflexivity. Each approach, it is shown, enables the illumination of a distinct dimension of the social world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery chapter is written by a seasoned ethnographer who enumerates one of the approaches and reflects on how that approach shapes their field site selection, observations, and analysis. Taken as a whole, the chapters show how these approaches, which operate more like sensitizing devices than theoretical mandates, can play a greater role in guiding the kinds of questions that get asked and answered in the field than whether one adopts an inductive or deductive stance toward theory. Engaging, accessible, and often inspiring, \u003cem\u003e Approaches to Ethnography\u003c\/em\u003e offers a practical and novel way to teach, evaluate, and conceptualize ethnographic research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Jerolmack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190236051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190236052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford Univ PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Colin Jerolmack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216473534719,"sku":"9780190236052","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7c82d47-bca6-4921-9220-fedd74c9fab1.jpg?v=1771991233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/approaches-to-ethnography-colin-jerolmack-9780190236052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
