"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. Approaches to Ethnography enumerates
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. Every 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, Approaches to Ethnography
offers a practical and novel way to teach, evaluate, and conceptualize ethnographic
research."--Publisher's description
