Ethnographic Explorations
In Ethnographic Explorations: Surrender and Resistance, Whitaker and Atkinson, two experienced ethnographers, explore the complexities of fieldwork, analysis and writing from new perspectives. It takes the opportunity to reflect on Ethnography not just as a methodological perspective, but at a fundamental level. In general terms, Ethnography is seen not just in terms of a set of data-collection methods, but as a more profoundly transformational p…

Interviewing – a final contribution
There was a Jewish presence in medieval England from shortly after the Norman Conquest (1066) until the general expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290. For much of this period, Jews and Christians lived together in towns across England. This talk considers how we access the positive interactions between Jews and Christians in English towns during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries

Response to Hughes, Hughes, Sykes and Wright
Visual Question Answering (VQA) is one of the attractive topics in the field of multimedia, affective, and empathic computing to garner user interest. Unlike existing models which aim at addressing chal- lenges of VQA for the scene images, this work aims at developing a new model for Personality Traits Question Answering (PQA). It uses Twitter account information, which includes shared images, pro- file pictures, banners, text in the images, and …
Authenticity and the interview
We respond to recent discussions of the interview, and the ‘radical critique’ of interviewing, as reiterated in publications by Silverman and Hammersley. Reviewing and extending the critical commentary on the social life of the interview and its implications for qualitative research, we endorse criticism of the Romantic view of the informant as a speaking subject, arguing that the interview does not give access to the interiority or private emoti…

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how feeling rules are constructed, experienced and contested within personalised social work practice. It considers how organisations seek to shape practitioners towards certain forms of emotional display in increasingly market-oriented conditions. It contributes to our understanding of the place of "backstage" emotional labour in seeking to shape and direct social work practice. Design/methodology/…
Surrender, Catch, and the Imp of Fieldwork
We build on the work of Kurt Wolff to capture some distinctive aspects of ethnographic fieldwork. Drawing on the sociology of knowledge and phenomenology, Wolff introduced and developed the idea of surrender-and-catch to encapsulate the twin processes of engagement and reflection. Although Wolff's ideas were not developed exclusively in relation to ethnography, he grounded them in his own community study. But he extended the general idea to encom…
Emic and Etic Analysis
This entry explores the origins and usage of the terms “emic” and “etic” as they relate to positions of knowledge in research in the social sciences. The entry explains the origins of the emic–etic distinction and how these have changed over time.
