[Air-l] online ethnography

[lilly nguyen]

Hi all-

I was wondering if anyone has come across articles and literature on  
doing online ethnography. I know that AOIR has put together an  
ethical document on doing online research more broadly, but has there  
been any kind of exploration of the role and definition of  
ethnography in online environments? It seems to me that there has  
been work into online communities and online behaviors and practices  
through the use offline ethnography, but has there been any kind of  
consideration of what online ethnography would look like or be  
defined as?
