Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course focuses on ethnographic methods and is aimed though not exclusively - to doctoral students who have not carried out their fieldwork research yet. The seminar delves into long-standing issues around ethnographic methods largely from a conceptual perspective. What is more, it will also help students identifying alternative avenues of investigation for research projects that have been or will be disrupted by the ongoing pandemic. At the beginning of the seminar, students will have the possibility to suggest specific areas or contexts of research that are most helpful to their projects so that additional readings may be added to the existing ones. The seminar will begin with an analysis of the interventions in the Forum on the COVID-19 Pandemic published on Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale earlier this year to chart a landscape of the novel situations which anthropologists are facing regarding their research or field. These interventions feature both continuities and new problematics, modalities and questions that the pandemic has generated across countless areas of research: these will help re-think and re-situate ‘classic’ approaches to ethnography and vice versa.
