[Air-l] postmodern ethnography

[Andrew Herman]

Actually, there has been a lot more thinking about postmodern ethnography within sociology than anthropology.  One place to start would be Norman Denzin's INTERPRETIVE ETHNOGRAPHY and then the Handbook of Qualitative Research he edited with Yvonne Lincoln.  Both are published by Sage.

Hi Denise,

It depends on what you want in reading about postmodern ethnography.  Are 
you interested in the  overall goal of ethnographic work?  Or about the 
methods employed by ethnographers that blur the distinction between 
researcher, researched, and audience?   Are you interested in justifying 
this type of work, or learning some of the possibilities for 
writing/researching in this vein?

Many scholars writing what they call Alternative Ethnography take Tyler's 
concepts and develop them in intriguing ways.  You can find many examples 
of postmodern ethnography there.  Others writing about methodology discuss 
engagement in context, writing as inquiry, and representation of voice in 
ways that develop Tyler's discussions of evocation.

Literature is out there, definitely.  Can you give a more specific idea 
about what you're looking for within the broad category of postmodern 
ethnography?
