Common use of Adopting an ethnographic perspective Clause in Contracts

Adopting an ethnographic perspective. An ethnographic perspective differs from the notion of doing ethnography (Xxxxx and Xxxxxx, 1997). Doing ethnography refers to a broad, in depth longitudinal study of a particular social or cultural group (Green and Xxxxxx, 1997). It has ‘an imperial heritage’ with its ‘roots deeply embedded in colonial anthropology’ (Nayak, 2006, p. 413). It traditionally involved white anthropologists becoming totally immersed in the everyday practices of a racially different group, in another country over an extended period of time by applying ‘a cultural standard of white normalcy’ which ‘has led to pathological perceptions of racialized Others as a problem’ (ibid) (see chapter 1). An ethnographic perspective, on the other hand, involves researching particular aspects of the everyday life and cultural practices of a particular social group and it is less in- depth than a study in the doing ethnography tradition (Green and Xxxxxx, 1997). As I only conducted my research in Hoshūkō on a Saturday morning and not in any other location, it was difficult for me to claim to be doing ethnography in the anthropological sense of the word so the notion of adopting an ethnographic perspective was applicable to my research.
