Western Ethnography

Nardi 2010 “Go with the flow” encounter ethnography vs. hypothesis generation & testing. WoW participant-observation. Advantages of studying a local group? Use of the internet in research?

Nardi Methods interviews- in-person & online participant-observation- how? informal conversation document analysis

Nardi: Analytical Methodology Activity theory + “accretion of a multitude of details that impart a sense of the everyday texture of experience”.

Nardi: Issues How was it “inclined toward the the participant end”? Role as “insider” vs. “outsider” (pp ) in Papua New Guinea & Samoa- how do these differ? Possible pros and cons? What does it mean to be be “an outsider whose identity required explanation”? How does this differ from WoW?

Pizza 2009: Paganistan Emic perspective central. Twin Cities Pagan community as emergent religion undergoing institutionalization. Comparative approach with other case studies.

Pizza 2009: Sampling “…most Neo-Pagans fall into a EuroAmerican, middle to upper middle class, post- secondary education level, urban, and baby-boom" demographic.” How does this differ from ‘traditional’ ethnography? Pros and cons?

Pizza 2009: Methodology What might “festival ethnography” entail? “Experiential ethnography”? “Narrative analysis”? Urban ethnography- what kinds of events did she attend?

General issues How did each gain “entry” into their respective communities? Criteria for interview selection- Nardi? Pizza? What does it mean to “share a language with my informants” (Pizza 28)?

General issues What were the advantages to Pizza’s “participant-apprenticeship” as a form of “reflexive experiential ethnography” (29)? IRB “minimal risk” and being “out” issues in Pizza?

General issues What is the “objectivity problem” in “positionality” relating to “going native” (or already being “native”) vs. “anthropological atheism” discussed by Pizza (33)? How does Pizza refute this charge? Is this only potentially a problem with religious ethnographies? Is it a problem?

General issues What is the problem Pizza discusses regarding “how a culture studied quickly becomes ‘othered’” (39)?

General issues What are the “limitations of outsider positionality when studying NRM’s [New Religious Movements]” discussed by Pizza (40)? What about the feeling of despondance and troubles with funding (Pizza 42)?
