In "Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes", Robert M. Emerson, Rachel I.
Fretz, and Linda L. Shaw present a series of guidelines,
suggestions, and practical advice for creating useful fieldnotes in
a variety of settings, demystifying a process that is often assumed
to be intuitive and impossible to teach. Using actual unfinished
notes as examples, the authors illustrate options for composing,
reviewing, and working fieldnotes into finished texts. They discuss
different organizational and descriptive strategies and show how
transforming direct observations into vivid descriptions results
not simply from good memory but from learning to envision scenes as
written. A good ethnographer, they demonstrate, must learn to
remember dialogue and movement like an actor, to see colors and
shapes like a painter, and to sense moods and rhythms like a poet.
This new edition reflects the extensive feedback the authors have
received from students and instructors since the first edition was
published in 1995. As a result, they have updated the race, class,
and gender section, created new sections on coding programs and
revising first drafts, and provided new examples of working notes.
An essential tool for budding social scientists, the second edition
of "Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes" will be invaluable for a new
generation of researchers entering the field.
