Journal Title: Zeszyty Etnologii Wrocławskiej - Year 2016, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Towards Facebook ethnography: the case of the Ukrainian diaspora and memory in Canada The paper discusses the importance of Facebook as a medium, tool, source of data and a context for an ethnographer, especially if she or he is interested in such questions as memory, diaspora, nationalism, etc. Today a distinction between the “real” and the “virtual” is no longer valid since we live in between, easily switching from offl ine to online status. Therefore, anthropologists need to include Facebook as an important element of the fi eld in their research. The author explores methodological and ethical aspects of Facebook ethnography and, using the example of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, she analyzes the role of Facebook in memory practices within a community.
