Challenges And Solutions In Ethnographic Research. Ethnography with a Twist

Challenges and Solutions in Ethnographic Research: Ethnography with a Twist seeks to
rethink ethnography ‘outside the box’ of its previous tradition and to develop
ethnographic methods by critically discussing process, ethics, impact and knowledge
production in ethnographic research.
This interdisciplinary edited volume argues for a ‘twist’ that supports openness,
courage, and creativity to develop and test innovative and unconventional ways of
thinking and doing ethnography. ‘Ethnography with a twist’ means both an
intentional aim to conduct ethnographic research with novel approaches and
methods but also sensitivity to recognize and creativity to utilize different kinds of
‘twist moments’ that ethnographic research may create for the researcher.
This edited volume critically evaluates new and old methodological tools and their
ability to engage with questions of power difference. It proposes new collaborative
methods that allow for co-production and co-creation of research material as well as
shared conceptual work and wider distribution of knowledge. The book will be of use
to ethnographers in humanities and social science disciplines including sociology,
anthropology and communication studies.
