ethnography

Geography
  • The study of the customs, habits, and behaviour of specific groups of people (usually people in non-literate societies). Herbert (2000) PHG 24, 4 believes that ethnography is an underused methodology in geography. ‘This neglect is especially injurious to the discipline because ethnography provides unreplicable insight into the processes and meanings that sustain and motivate social groups. These processes and meanings vary across space, and are central to the construction and transformation of landscapes; they are both place-bound and place-making. Ethnography’s potential contribution to geography is thus profound.’ Hart (2006) Antipode 38, 5 holds that using critical conceptions of spatiality can extend and enrich global ethnography. Hörschelman and Stenning (2008) PHG 32, 2 argue that ethnographic research is most valuable when it is employed ‘within an explicitly spatial imaginary, placed within a multi-sited context and critically intervening in broader theoretical debates’. Would it not then be geography?
