Doing Sensory Ethnography

"Doing Sensory Ethnography" responds to a recent an explosion of interest in the senses across the social sciences. Sarah Pink suggests re-thinking the ethnographic process through reflexive attention to what she terms the 'sensoriality' of the experience, practice and knowledge of both researchers and those who participate in their research. The book provides an accessible discussion and analysis of the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of doing sensory ethnography, drawing on examples and case studies from the growing literature on sensory ethnographic studies, and from the author's own work. "Doing Sensory Ethnography" is the first book to concentrate on outlining a sensory ethnographic methodology. It will be of great interest to researchers and students from all disciplines interested in enriching their ethnographic work through a focus on the senses.

I "Doing Sensory Ethnography" bliver den nye etnografiske disciplin, sensory ethnography, præsenteret og tydeliggjort for læseren gennem talrige eksempler fra den virkelige verden. Sarah Pink prøver i sin bog at få læseren til at glemme alt de ved om interviews, observationer og undersøgelser i digitale verdener. Ved at fokusere på tidligere oversete faktorer som, smag, lugt og berøring, udfordres nogle grundlæggende antagelser om velkendte metoder og etnografiens rolle i forskningen af mennesket. Dette er anden udgave af "Doing Sensory Ethnography", som indeholder opdaterede forskningsresultater og opdaterede eksempler. Bogens perspektiver er relevante på tværs af sociologiske og humanistiske fakulteter.
