Some suggestions for anthropology PhD students who face having to conduct their ethnography entirely online because they are unable to visit their fieldsite.
Excellent and insightful presentation! As a international PhD candidate from Trinidad and Tobago at the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada, I very much can relate to the examples used from the Caribbean context. The mindfulness of an inclusive approach to ethnography is very much one that needs more attention. Thank you for highlighting these points!
I'm a master's level student smack dab in the middle of the US (Kansas), and just getting my first experience with ethnography. I found this video informative, but seeing that it was posted at the very beginning of the pandemic, I can only imagine what an encouragement it must have been to students already deeply invested in their research last year. What an encouragement! I'm keeping my eye on this channel.
hi just curious, when you submitted this comment, did you happen to notice if there were more than two videos on this account at the time you wrote this?
This is reassuring. I was just hitting my stride with my fieldwork as this covid 19 took hold. I've been typing up transcriptions in the meantime but only have 2 more to go so you've given me some ideas and provided reassurance that i am on the right track. Hope you and your family and colleagues are all ok.
I am a student of the Bachelor of Social Sciences at UFF, located in Brazil. Your reflections were a valuable gift for continuing to write my course completion research. I got to know his work in Anthropology classes and we even discussed Brazilian pornography from the 1970s based on that discussion about the sensual photos sent by the post office.
Estou realizando um trabalho desde fo início da pandemia com aldeias indígenas de diferentes regiões do Brasil, deu muito certo. Obrigada por legitimar a minha ousadia em constituir um outro caminho. Estou muito feliz com este conhecimentos.
This is an important issue you have discussed. Online ethnography is possible when there is access to ICT. I am particularly interested to know when the study population do not have access to those facilities. I am expecting to learn this context when online ethnography is not possible. What could be alternative options?
Hello. I work for the Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology, in the University of São Paulo (Brazil), and we just finished revising a portuguese subtitle for your video. Would you be so kind as to incorporate it to your video, so that we can share the video in our classes and study groups? (I also sent this request through an e-mail, but I'm not sure if it's your official e-mail)
Thanks a lot, you are much generous¡ Since some years ago, I work with relative victims of armed conflict in Perú. Now I will start a dialogo process for building a memory policy in Perú, I have many ideas and questions.
Thank you for lecture! I would greatly appreciate if you could answer to my question, that is what kind of methods do you think good to code date with online ethnographies? I often use Grounded Theory Approach and text mining.
Thank you. Let us know which Journal you review :-) Now we are kidnapped by the journals reviewer. just now we modestly think we are try to make a good research with a sound "creative" methodology in the way you propose, but we are already worried about the old school ethnographers reviewers :-)
As Danny Miller explains, in those cases you need to change course. At the end of the day, you have to weigh whether your research is more important than the lives and health of members of the communities where you work. The answer, of course, is "no, it is not" - so you adjust your focus to do research that will not endanger anyone's life.
@@miekab.polanco7435 I completely agree with you, as what I see in this viedio cannot be applied in every case study with the same impact as it can bring more negative impacton marginalizedpeoplein developing countriesthen what the arguements in this preview showaslegitimate on generalizable level.
Hello, would you be willing to open your video for contributions from the community so I can add subtitles in Portuguese to it? I'd love to share it with my students. Thank you!
Oi, Thays. Estou atualmente trabalhando na tradução e legenda do vídeo no Laboratório de Imagem e Som em Antropologia, da USP. Notei vários problemas na tradução da legenda atual. Assim que terminarmos, espero poder contribuir e atualizando a legenda atual. O que você acha? Hi, Thays. I'm currently working on the translation and subtitling of the video (to portuguese) in the Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology - University of São Paulo. I've noticed several problems in the current subtitles, so I hope that we can update the subtitles once we're done. What do you think about it?
Good day Prof, I am an Anthropological Studies Student at University of Cape Town, doing Honours in South Africa, can you please differentiate for me, what is the difference between Digital Ethnography and Netnography, Thank you?
I understand the definition of ethnography involving a depth of knowledge which is acquired by a lived experience with the individuals and the situation the research is studying. Daniel Miller seems to be talking about the acquisition of qualitative and largely spoken data. And he does not address the situation which will no doubly arise in circumstances where the people being studied do not have much access to technology. Simply put there is really no such thing as online ethnography.
