Description
Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes, Second Edition by Robert M. Emerson, Rachel I. Fretz, and Linda L. Shaw provides practical guidance for creating effective fieldnotes in various settings. The authors illustrate their approach using real-life examples of unfinished notes, demonstrating how to transform direct observations into vivid descriptions. A key aspect of ethnographic research is learning to perceive the world through different lenses - like an actor remembering dialogue, a painter seeing colors and shapes, or a poet sensing moods and rhythms. This new edition reflects extensive feedback from students and instructors, with updates on race, class, and gender, coding programs, and revising first drafts. This book is a valuable resource for budding social scientists and researchers entering the field, offering practical advice and strategies for composing, reviewing, and refining fieldnotes into finished texts.
