Annotation
Ethnography aims at a) an empathic understanding and representation of the lives of other people and at the same time at b) its objective interpretation. This duality allows ethnography to reflect upon the possibilities of an objective procedure
(ethnography as a method) and to work out various textual strategies (ethnography as a genre). Some authors actually refuse the scientific aspiration of research based on "ethnographic authority". However, in this course we shall proceed from the assumption that this duality is the source of enriching ethnographic analysis. A critique of the means of ethnographic realism should help us discover the inherently dialogical character of the ethnographic situation. The course mostly pay attention to the epistemological, theoretical and methodological properties of participant observation as a distinctive way of researching social reality, characteristic of social anthropology. We should gradually familiarise ourselves with the phases of ethnographic research (conceptualising the field, definition of "place", entry, interaction, data gathering, field-notes, ethnography as a text) and with the analytic and methodological tools of ethnography. The course places emphasis on the constant implication of theory and methodology, the subject and object of research, the analytical tools and the language of science as the prerequisite for a possible objectification of such a subjective enterprise.
