Seth Kahn, “Putting Ethnographic Writing in Context” |
| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words |
This article was interesting to read because I have never heard the term of ethnographic writing. What I took it to mean was literary analysis on a whole new level. We are considering every little detail that we are putting in our writing rather than vague or mediocre information. Also, I believe ethnographic writing is important for our research papers, because we have to cover all basis of our research to make a clear and concise paper. We have to draw connections and deeply analyze our own research to possibly put in an argumentative paper later on. But more importantly, it can be used for our own personal gain as we come to better terms with what we are researching. |
