Crafting Ethnography
Autor Paul Atkinsonen Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 8 apr 2022
Filled with images and hands-on examples of encounters with crafts and craft-workers, the book takes you on a sensory journey through glassblowing, woodworking, silversmithing, photography, life-drawing, and perfume-blending. These fieldwork snapshots provide insight into the ethnography of knowledge, skill, and craft.
Helping to inform more reflective fieldwork, this book explores how analytical perspective varies based on the researcher and their physical environment. If you are looking to hone or expand your ethnographic practice, Paul shows you the exciting possibilities and implications of applying ethnographic methods to new contexts and media.

Recenzii
Paul
Atkinson,
one
of
sociology’s
most
distinguished
ethnographers,
has
written
a
remarkable,
readable
work.
Deeply
personal
and
richly
analytic,
he
demonstrates
the
importance
of
embodied
experience
and
practical
knowledge
in
making
both
craft
objects
and
ethnographic
texts.
Describing
his
training
in
shaping
wood,
silver,
glass,
and
other
crafts,
materiality
and
performance
are
exquisitely
joined.
This
final
volume
of
Atkinson’s
methodological
quartet
caps
a
project
that
demonstrates
how
field
methods
in
the
hands
of
a
gifted
practitioner
truly
matter.
Through ‘thick participation’ we learn with our bodies, and our communication involves much more than words. In this lovely book, Paul Atkinson embarks on an apprenticeship of the senses to show how there can be, as he puts it, 'a lot to be learned from a little'.
This fourth of a quartet of magnificent books on ethnography explores the value of an ‘aliquot’ of fieldwork, aiming at learning much from little instead of little from (too) much data. During thick participation in various sites of craft and artistic activity detailed attention is given to the practical activities of making and doing. In their context methodological issues of the craft of (sensory) ethnography are discussed and illuminating theoretical ideas developed. This book is brilliant and a must-read for every ethnographer.

Descriere
This
final
book
in
Paul
Atkinson’s
celebrated
quartet
focuses
on
material
culture
and
sensory
ethnography.
Using
the
author’s
original
fieldwork,
the
book
explores
how
materials,
techniques,
tools,
and
perspectives
combine
with
the
five
senses
to
inform
ethnographic
methods.
