The Dimensions of Fieldnotes in Ethnographic Research: An Introduction
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 5
Abstract
Through the present exertion, the authors are inclined and intended to reflect the theoretical and methodological multiplicity on taking notes in the field, the process of inscribing the meaning from the texts and contexts, and writing fieldnotes in the frame of „reflexivity‟ and contemporary ethnographic practices. To attain the objectives, the authors have gone through selective literature to stand their focus on. The prime concern of us was to find out – are there any standardized categories of taking and writing fieldnotes in ethnographic researches? To explore the answer and to reflect the dimensions of fieldnotes in ethnographic research to our „perceived‟ audiences, we have argued with each other that (re)framed us and our positions repetitively. Being conscious in our focus, we have tried to outline a combination of „self‟, „contexts‟, and „reflexivity‟ that may help the beginners of ethnographic studies to think and (Re)think to reflect their identity into their research and at the same time they can enrich the ongoing discourse of „fieldnotes‟ and „ethnography‟.
