Ethnography and Interview Sample Clauses

Ethnography and Interview. The primary means of research in this project were semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observation. As my focus was on everyday discourses and practices, I decided to engage in semi- structured, loose interviews. These interviews overwhelmingly took place within the home or neighbourhood of the interviewee. As will be detailed later in the section in some of these interviews I was accompanied by an interpreter or friend, others and particularly those conducted after my move to Kapashera urban village in spring 2015 were conducted alone. I began my field research by interviewing a number of industrialists and state officials in the planning, industrial development and labour departments. This is perhaps because at the time my Hindi was at a lesser standard and these interviews were easier for me to carry out in English. While some of these interviews feature in this thesis, it became clear after a short time that the thesis’ focus would be to explore the everyday discourses and practices of Gurgaon’s subaltern actors primarily working-classes and former landowners. As will be detailed in greater detailed later in this chapter, my interviews were semi-structured and I allowed the interviewee to take hold of the interview as much as possible in order not over over-determine the kinds of answers I would receive. I was wary not to trap my interlocutors’ responses within the limited contours of my own knowledge of work and life in the city. This approach was influenced both by the interpreter I worked alongside at the beginning of the field research (as I will detail later on) and by my own experiences during my preliminary field research trip. Very broadly, my interviews with migrant workers focused on their experiences of and motivations for migrating to Gurgaon, how they came to work where they worked, how they came to terms with the highly precarious conditions of work and life in Gurgaon, and what aspirations they had for the future. Equally, broadly, my interviews with former landowners concerned their experiences of the agrarian- urban transition; their post-agrarian economic activity; their attitudes toward the transformations in Gurgaon; and their hopes and aspirations for the future. Alongside interview-based research, I also carried out ethnographic observation. This ethnography was carried out alone while I lived in the workers’ block or through my participation in a women workers’ rights organisation, Nari Shakti Manch, and a worker-run news...
