Some operating concepts/contrasts
- More ideas - tools for thinking:
- Explanation/understanding :: Science/humanities :: experimental method/interpretive strategy :: nomothetic/idiographic :: law/meaning
- Inductive vs. deductive (theory/method)
- Networks, social and semantic
- S-nets: interleaving social (intersubjective) network, semantic (symbolic) network (cf: society and culture).
- Fieldwork as repositioning of the self within such nets. Phenomenology and Hermeneutics as tools of understanding.
- Degree of network immersion (time, space, language, life)
- Agency vs. Structure , or Lifeworld vs. System
- Rapport as key element of the positioning
- Truth : between the objectivistic and the solipsistic
- Units of social analysis ("community", "culture", "city", "scene"...)
- Problem of boundaries: Culture areas as a partition of humanity into non-overlapping sets (e.g. eHRAF or Global Jukebox vs. social identity as set of overlapping circles representing affiliations
- Ethnography: description vs. grounded theory; localized vs. comparative/multisited; linguistic vs. multimediated (ethnomedia?)
- Wide range of methods available (browse Sage research methods map (and many other valuable materials on their site)
- Culture as self-observing (E.g. El Mastaba (http://www.el-mastaba.org/); fieldworker as "second order observer", the "observer observing observation" (Luhmann system theory)
