Ethnography / Innovation
Over the last twenty years innovation projects have been established as a mainstay for ethnographic researchers.During this time, a dominant 'folk model' accounting for ethnography's role in innovation has correspondingly emerged.The innovation process begins (at least on paper) with a phase of opportunity research to clarify the 'Fuzzy Front End' of an initiative, and provide 'direction setting' by identifying the promising 'White Spaces' for a …
New methods in and for ethnography
Salons
EPIC Salons are not a seminar, not a presentation, nor workshops with a 'leader'. In 2013, the first year this format was featured, the Salons achieved their sole goal of offering more space for 'horizontal' conversation between EPIC attendees - by offering a forum for shared in-depth explorations of a single topic
Renewing Ethnographic Theory
The place of theory in ethnographic practice is to reflect, puzzle, re-think, and guide research practices from a 'meta' perspective.Consequently, for EPIC 2012 our contributors have sought to renew ethnographic theory by questioning some fundamentals that often "go without saying" (even for a community as circumspect as ours). Thus, the role of Time, Endings, Facts, and Functions all come under scrutiny, as well as how our very "ways of world ma…
STAND Where You Live: Activating civic renewal by socially constructing Big Ethno
This paper explains how STAND Chattanooga became the world's largest community visioning process in 2009. Behind its public success, the authors relate the underlying 'research story' of how 26,263 viewpoints were achieved by changing course in midstream and adopting more ethnographic methods of survey collection. For an EPIC audience, we analyze STAND's ultimately successful outcomes as a case of following the logic of 'social fields' (however u…
The 'Inner Game' of Ethnography
Ethnography's external outputs such as contextual photos, process models, and personas have overshadowed the actual 'way' of practicing ethnography (which has remained largely immune to normative standards). This paper will argue the time has come to re-embrace a sense of craft and that renewal can be catalyzed by putting individual performance at the center of ethnographic practice. Beginning from practitioners' typical feelings of discontent wi…

From Ancestors to Herbs: Innovation According to 'The Protestant Reformation' in African Medicine
This paper argues that popular healthcare practice in urban South Africa bears little resemblance to the essentialized descriptions of ‘Traditional African Medicine’ (TAM) that abound in the literature. It defines several key transitions that have occurred in African medicine, outlining how it can be re-formed on another basis which better matches both the pluralistic-syncretistic logic of current medical practices and the less deferential ‘spiri…
Grass Roots Campaigning As Elective Sociality (Or Maffesoli Meets 'Social Software): Lessons From The Bbc Ican Project
This paper is based on ethnographic research during the development phase of the BBC iCan website. It discusses how we defined the object of study that would become the focus of the site –“grass roots campaigning” and how following two stages of research we found the site's early planning (influenced by the ‘social software’ movement) needed to recognize the deeply contextual nature of this practice – and avoid attempting to mediate the majority …
