Every freakin' internet discussion board you check-out these days seems to have a minimum of 2 MUD cases trying to monopolize the conversation with either every single banality that pops into their boring, schizoid minds, or squabbling and name-calling as they compete for the same space â Chief Nut-job.
What is Ethnographic Research? Anthropologists, ethnographers, and other social scientists may engage in something called ethnography. Ethnography, simply stated, is the study of people in their own environment through the use of methods such as participant observation and face-to-face interviewing.
(A modern urban ethnography may, for instance, focus on âsurfersâ as a culture, or âdisco fans.â) Ethnology is the branch of anthropology that involves comparative study of cultures and the analysis of that data to propose theoretical frameworks for better understanding cultural phenomena. Ethnographies are the studies that provide the raw data which ethnology analyzes to develop theories of culture.
