Little Dramas Everywhere
In this article, the chairs of EPIC2021 reflect on the idea of Anticipation, and what ethnography reveals to us that may not be readily apparent through other means. Looking backward at the year of planning a conference that was to be focused on the future, the authors describe various revelations that unfolded and revealed themselves over the course of time. They raise questions of method, of epistemological position, and ethical responsibility.…
Ethnographic Research Design
Practical Ethnography
Ethnography is an increasingly important research method in the private sector, yet ethnographic literature continues to focus on an academic audience. Sam Ladner fills the gap by advancing rigorous ethnographic practice that is tailored to corporate settings where colleagues are not steeped in social theory, research time lines may be days rather than months or years, and research sponsors expect actionable outcomes and recommendations.

Bodywork and Productivity in Workplace Ethnography
Office workers still rely on their bodies to communicate with each other, despite many decades of technology use. This Pecha Kucha explores how and in what ways office work involves people's bodies and this "bodywork" plays in productivity. I argue that technology is now able to emulate some effects of bodywork
Ethnographic Temporality
Corporate ethnography is often targeted at renewing the life of a product. Getting customers to start using a product again - or start using it in the first place - entails a deep understanding of the rhythm of everyday life. When do customers begin to use this product?

Agency time
This article investigates the postindustrial temporal landscape, or 'timescape', through a case study of a specific industry: Internet advertising. The theoretical portion of this article finds that the expansion of digital information communication technologies (ICTs) has radically transformed time keeping into 'calculation' in many of today's workplaces. Additionally, globalized production has also rendered many locally constructed symbols of t…
Laptops in the Living Room
This article examines how mobile technology use affects the division between private and work time among workers in interactive advertising agencies. These workers are frequent users of both personal and company-issued mobile technology. This article investigates the strategies workers use to restrict workplace access during their private time. Relying on the social construction of technology as a point of departure, this article investigates the…
