Ethnography
CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY: Method, Ethics, and Performance THIRD EDITION
D. Soyini Madison, Northwestern University
Critical Ethnography presents a fresh new look at critical ethnography by emphasizing the signifi cance of ethics
and performance in the art and politics of fi eldwork. The productive links between theory and method are celebrated
in this title. Theoretical concepts range from queer theory, feminist theory, and critical race theory to Marxism and
phenomenology. The methodological techniques range from designing and asking in-depth interview questions and
developing rapport to coding and interpreting data. The various theories and methods culminate in three fi ctional
ethnographic case studies that "enact" the interdependence between theory and method and the signifi cance of social
theory, ethics, and performance.
CONTENTS 1. Introduction to Critical Ethnography: Theory and Method / 2. Methods: "Do I Really Need a Method?" A Method... or Deep Hanging
Out? / 3. Three Stories: Case Studies in Critical Ethnography / 4. Ethics / 5. Methods and Application: Three Case Studies in Ethical Dilemmas / 6.
