ObservationsCurrent LectureEthnographyOrigins of the Word: Ethno- means “a combining form meaning ”race,” “people,” or “culture” coming from Greek origins (“ethno-“). –Graphy, also coming from the Greek, is “a combining form denoting a process or form of drawing, writing, representing, recording, describing, etc., or an art or science concerned with such a process” (“-graphy”).Definition: - “Descriptive study of a particular human society or the process of making such a study. Contemporary ethnography is based almost entirely on fieldwork and requires the complete immersion of the anthropologist in the culture and everyday life of the people who are the subject of his study” (The Editors).- Definitions given by the teacher: “A systematic research process based on first-hand, long-term, participatory field work.”“It also refers to the end result of this research, a written description of the people or topic studied.”OBS: It was initially a process with more apparent use in anthropology. It is now present in other areas other than Anthropology.Research Methods in Cultural Anthropology:o Participant observation, in depth interviews, as well as other research methods.o Descriptive, but systematically documented experience.OBS: Observation/Research in its natural habitat. Most of the research is done through insertions of researchers within the cultural aspect of the topic being studied, rather than the mere study of the cultural aspect of the topic being studied.OBS: Anthropology usually studies non-western culture.Works Cited"ethno-."
