Abstract
Addressing scholars new to ethnography in an interdisciplinary
perspective, Prof. Marion Demossier and Dr. Margaret Hills de Zárate
offer some reflections on the broader opportunities and implications of
ethnographic approaches as a search not for truth, or rules, but for
meaning in context. The authors discuss the opportunities and challenges
of ethnography as opposed to other forms of data collection, reflexivity,
the relationship between ethnography and text, and provide a range of
further references.
