Collaborative Ethnography. Assumptions, Chances, Limitations
Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SOCJOLOGII JAKOŚCIOWEJ - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
In this article, I try to outline general assumptions of collaborative ethnography and ways of their realization. An important representative, theorist, and practitioner of this approach is Luke Eric Lassiter; it should be mentioned here that in Polish qualitative sociology similar ideas were formulated by Anna Wyka in her work Badacz społeczny wobec doświadczenia. The main demand of this methodological proposal is to include interlocutors and consultants in the whole ethnographic process – from the designing and conceptualization stage, through the fieldwork, to the joint writing or making comments about the final report. Examining essential works on this topic and describing own ethnographical practice inspired by discussed approach, I try to follow through the most important conditions, possibilities, advantages, chances, limitations, and traps of collaborative ethnography.
