Abstract
Walking, looking and mapping: An introduction to the fieldwork methods on the urban night Saturday, July 4th, 2020 We offer the opportunity to learn and practice the methods of ethnography applied to urban settings. The workshop is divided into two parts: A theoretical session in the classroom where we will explore the methodological understanding of social facts based on the naturalistic and processual approach to social life proposed by classic authors such as Radcliffe-Brown of Herbert Blumer. In this session we will recognise particular qualitative methodologies that support case-centred, empirical and grounded explorations of the field: participant observation, informal conversations, in-depth interviews and mapping. The main objective is to acquire the understanding of how ethnography is crafted in urban settings, from the first exploratory walks and ideas (experienced in the field trip) to the more engaged and deep recognition of the social order produced and performed in the night realm. This workshop will be directed by Daniel Malet, know more about him here below
