Thick description has long been the standard for both credibility and quality in ethnographic, community action, and participatory observation research across the disciplines, but I argue that researchers have an ethical obligation to consider when to decline to describe thickly. When ethnographers write about actions their informants took that broke, skirted, or challenged laws and rules in service of meeting their own basic needs, anonymization is not enough. We risk drawing the attention of law enforcement or hostile regulators to whole communities employing those practices, rendering their future actions more highly policeable or criminalizable—even if we do not intend to do so, and even if we adequately conceal the identities of the particular individuals described. I suggest five principles for ethical description of criminalized or policeable conduct: justified disclosure, substituting thick description of evidence of a practice for description of the practice itself, balancing thickness with thinness, telling stories when the risks of criminalization are decreasing, and narrating affinities with less-surveilled practices.
长期以来,厚描述一直是人种学、社区行动和跨学科参与性观察研究的可信度和质量标准,但我认为,研究人员有道德义务考虑何时拒绝厚描述。当民族志学家写他们的线人为了满足自己的基本需求而违反、规避或挑战法律和规则的行为时,匿名是不够的。我们冒着引起执法部门或敌对监管机构对整个社区使用这些做法的注意的风险,使他们未来的行为更容易被监管或被定罪——即使我们不打算这样做,即使我们充分隐瞒了所描述的特定个人的身份。我建议对犯罪行为或可监管行为进行道德描述的五个原则:合理披露,用对行为本身的描述取代对行为证据的详尽描述,平衡厚薄,在犯罪风险降低时讲述故事,以及用较少监控的行为讲述亲和关系。

Streets are public spaces where people pass through in going from one place to another. As such, streets are not supposed to be dwelling places. However, rapid urbanization has ushered in problems on housing, livelihood, and basic social facilities and services, giving rise to informal settlements and street living in cities. In Cebu City (a highly urbanized city in Central Philippines), displacement from urban slums as well as, lack of livelihood options have pushed some people to dwell on the streets and sidewalks in sites most visited by foreign and local tourists. Through street ethnography, this research uncovers how street dwellers in a heritage site in downtown Cebu City came to live and make a living here. The findings point to the fact that street dwellers have socially constructed and purposely transformed heritage spaces into places where they do their daily domestic routines as well as livelihood activities, in order to survive. This article posits that placemaking by these street dwellers in this heritage site is a process from entering and integrating into the place, appropriating specific spaces into places with meanings for them, building and maintaining social networks, contesting notions of the place, and developing a street culture over time.
街道是人们从一个地方到另一个地方的公共空间。因此,街道不应该是居住场所。然而,快速的城市化带来了住房、生计以及基本社会设施和服务方面的问题,导致了城市中的非正规住区和街头生活。在宿务市(菲律宾中部的一个高度城市化的城市),由于城市贫民窟的流离失所以及生计选择的缺乏,一些人不得不住在外国和当地游客最多的地方的街道和人行道上。通过街头民族志,本研究揭示了宿务市中心一处遗产地的街头居民是如何来到这里生活和谋生的。研究结果表明,为了生存,街头居民已经社会化地构建并有意将遗产空间改造成他们日常生活和生计活动的场所。本文认为,这些街头居民在这个遗产地的选址是一个过程,从进入和融入这个地方,将特定的空间分配到对他们有意义的地方,建立和维护社交网络,对这个地方的概念进行质疑,并随着时间的推移发展街头文化。

This article uses ethnographic social media analysis to interpret affective practices concerning research funding. The analysis is based on Finnish Twitter discussions both within academia and between researchers and those outside academia. Different kinds of affective practices, both sharing and othering, are present in the discussions that guide the ways we make sense of the role of science in our individual lives, as well as in society more generally. We need to see these emotions at work as signals of negotiations of values in the context of neoliberal universities and freedom of science.
本文运用民族志社交媒体分析来解读与研究资助有关的情感实践。该分析基于芬兰推特在学术界内部以及研究人员与学术界外部的讨论。讨论中出现了不同类型的情感实践,包括分享和其他,这些实践指导我们如何理解科学在我们个人生活以及更广泛的社会中的作用。我们需要将这些情绪视为新自由主义大学和科学自由背景下价值观谈判的信号。

(De)constructing Refugee Vulnerability: Overcoming Institutional Barriers to Ethnographic Research With Refugee Communities. 构建难民脆弱性:克服难民社区民族志研究的制度障碍

Drawn from 18-months of ethnographic research with resettled refugees living in a mini-enclave in one Canadian city, this article explores what ethnography offers research with resettled refugees. By interrogating the process of securing ethics approval from the Research Ethics Board (REB), I examine the figure of the refugee at the heart of liberal projects aimed at "saving" refugees. I demonstrate that the REB's reluctance to approve this project stemmed not only from conventional bureaucratic overreach related to ethnographic research but also from an unexamined and problematic idea of what it means to be a refugee. I discuss the gaps between institutionally perceived forms of vulnerability and the actual vulnerabilities that shape life for refugee women. I argue that vulnerability and risk must be understood as contextual and contingent, rather than inherent. Second, I explore the implications of positioning refugees as always already vulnerable on research practice and the value that ethnography offers for overcoming these blind spots.

本文通过对居住在加拿大一个城市的小型飞地中的重新安置难民进行为期18个月的民族志研究,探讨了民族志为重新安置难民的研究提供了什么。通过询问从研究伦理委员会(REB)获得伦理批准的过程,我考察了难民在旨在“拯救”难民的自由主义项目中的核心地位。我证明,REB不愿批准这个项目,不仅源于与民族志研究相关的传统官僚机构的过度扩张,还源于对难民意味着什么的未经检验和有问题的想法。我讨论了制度上认为的脆弱性形式与影响难民妇女生活的实际脆弱性之间的差距。我认为,脆弱性和风险必须被理解为背景和偶然的,而不是固有的。其次,我探讨了将难民定位为在研究实践中总是已经脆弱的含义,以及民族志为克服这些盲点所提供的价值。

Weed Central: Cannabis Specialists and Polydrug Vendors in Mexico City Weed Central:墨西哥城的大麻专家和多药供应商

Findings discussed in this article addressed a gap in the literature on cannabis markets in Mexico. This article primarily draws on interviews with (N = 64) street drug dealers including 24 incarcerated ones, and ethnographic work in 3 impoverished neighborhoods in Mexico City. We find that cannabis sellers enter the profession through early biographical experiences that are reinforced throughout adolescence. Dealing in the context of this cannabis culture is not only acceptable in the present but also viewed as inherently part of their future. Further analysis reveals a typology of dealers that tends to be marked by the transition from cannabis specialists to polydrug vendors. As dealers progress to more profitable sales of hard drugs, they tend to lose the trust and support of neighborhood residents who view their suppliers, clients, and associates as dangerous. We conclude with policy interventions uniquely derived from ethnographic research that are intended to minimize the risk of escalating to more serious drug distribution while preserving community stability and cohesion.
本文讨论的调查结果解决了墨西哥大麻市场文献中的一个空白。这篇文章主要借鉴了对(N = 64)街头毒贩,包括24名被监禁的毒贩,以及墨西哥城3个贫困社区的民族志工作。我们发现,大麻销售商是通过早期的传记经历进入这个行业的,这种经历在整个青春期都得到了加强。在这种大麻文化的背景下进行交易不仅在目前是可以接受的,而且被视为其未来固有的一部分。进一步的分析揭示了一种经销商类型,其特点往往是从大麻专家转变为多种药物供应商。随着经销商向更有利可图的硬药销售发展,他们往往会失去社区居民的信任和支持,他们认为自己的供应商、客户和同事很危险。最后,我们从人种学研究中得出了独特的政策干预措施,旨在最大限度地减少升级为更严重的毒品分销的风险,同时保持社区的稳定和凝聚力。

Miles and Bars Between: The Tertiary Prisonization and Layered Liminality of Prison Visitation Transportation Services 英里与栅栏之间:三级监禁与监狱探视运输服务的分层阈限

Prison visitation transportation services perform an important yet understudied role in the process of prison visitation for many people with incarcerated loved ones. This article draws on the findings of an ethnographic study of the experiences of loved ones of incarcerated people using a small, Black-owned prison visitation transportation service. Prison visitation transportation services help to mitigate the carceral state’s inherent function to separate people from their incarcerated loved ones, but in turn these services are also subjected to intensive forms of carceral control themselves. As a result, prison visitation transportation services and their staff experience a form of tertiary prisonization. This ultimately results in the drivers of these services experiencing a heightened and enduring state of layered liminality, which becomes attached to them as individuals.
监狱探视运输服务在许多亲人被监禁的人的监狱探视过程中发挥着重要但尚未得到充分研究的作用。本文借鉴了一项民族志研究的结果,该研究是关于被监禁者的亲人使用黑人拥有的小型监狱探视运输服务的经历。监狱探视运输服务有助于减轻监狱国家将人们与被监禁的亲人分开的固有功能,但反过来,这些服务本身也受到密集形式的监狱控制。因此,监狱探视运输服务及其工作人员经历了某种形式的三级监禁。这最终导致这些服务的司机经历了一种高度和持久的分层阈限状态,这种状态成为他们作为个体的附属。

Sociologists have long known that wages are not all that attract highly skilled workers to jobs. Identity rewards in organizations of work are opportunities for workers to affirm valued identities. Past research has found that workers who value these rewards will protect them when they are threatened. Other scholars have shown that managers can use identity rewards to control and elicit cooperation from workers. Another body of scholarship has explored how gendered assumptions and expectations are built into organizations of work. Based on 2 years of field research and 18 interviews with games industry professionals, my research unites these lines of inquiry, by examining how gendered identity rewards entice game developers for game developers to forgo higher wages and more stable conditions in other areas of software development, reinforcing both exploitive class relations and a culture hostile to marginalized workers.
社会学家早就知道,工资并不是吸引高技能工人就业的全部因素。工作组织中的身份奖励是员工确认有价值身份的机会。过去的研究发现,重视这些奖励的员工在受到威胁时会保护他们。其他学者已经表明,管理者可以利用身份奖励来控制和吸引员工的合作。另一个学术机构探讨了性别假设和期望是如何融入工作组织的。基于两年的实地研究和对游戏行业专业人士的18次采访,我的研究将这些调查线结合在一起,通过研究性别身份奖励如何吸引游戏开发商让游戏开发商放弃软件开发其他领域的更高工资和更稳定的条件,从而加强剥削阶级关系和敌视边缘化工人的文化。

From Nativeness to Strangeness and Back: Ascribed Ethnicity, Body Work, and Contextual Insiderness 从原生到陌生再回来:归属种族、身体动作和语境内在性

This article offers a reflection on a certain variant of broadening the position of “being inside” with some “buts,” or through “within but.” Drawing on my field experience in the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, I discuss the context-dependent, fluid and labile insiderness and the case of using a researcher’s embodied distinctions (senses, ethnicity, class) in the research site created by the fieldwork participants, and not the researcher him/herself. My considerations are embedded with the dialectics (not opposition) of the insider–outsider and point to the contextual “nativeness” and “strangeness” of the researcher. I also discuss the fluidity and contextuality of a researcher’s field familiarity, as well as when s/he conducts research in cooperation with “their own people,” as well as circumstances and factors that transform this familiarity into strangeness. I argue that the latter, instead of being an obstacle or barrier in the research, is a beneficial and mind-opening ethnographic tool.
这篇文章对用一些“但是”或通过“内部但是”来扩大“在内部”的立场的某种变体进行了反思。根据我在加拿大散居乌克兰的实地经验,流动和不稳定的内部,以及在由实地调查参与者而非研究人员本人创建的研究站点中使用研究人员的具体区别(感官、种族、阶级)的情况。我的思考嵌入了内部-外部的辩证法(而不是对立),并指向了研究者的语境“本土性”和“陌生性”。我还讨论了研究人员熟悉领域的流动性和背景性,以及他/她何时与“自己的人”合作进行研究,以及将这种熟悉转化为陌生的环境和因素。我认为,后者不是研究中的障碍或障碍,而是一种有益的、开放思想的民族志工具。

Researching While Trans: Being Clocked and Cooling Cistress 翻译时的研究:顺时针与冷却应力

In this article, I investigate how predominantly cisgender and straight participants of a university LGBT Ally Training program perceived transgender topics. As a trans woman, my positionality and gendered embodiment shaped my research process—depending on whether or not I was perceived as trans. Drawing on 21 interviews with 12 training participants and the training instructor, plus 12 hours of ethnographic observations of 4 Ally Trainings, I show the interactive nature of the research process and how I navigated what I call participant distress. Participant distress manifested due to participant anxiety regarding how I, a trans researcher, perceived their responses. I analyze distress through the lens of Goffman, and offer cistress as a more specific interactive process of disrupting cisnormative statements that results in guilt or anger.
在这篇文章中,我调查了一所大学LGBT联盟培训项目的主要参与者是如何看待跨性别话题的。作为一名跨性别女性,我的定位和性别体现塑造了我的研究过程——这取决于我是否被视为跨性别者。通过对12名培训参与者和培训讲师的21次访谈,加上对4次Ally培训的12小时人种学观察,我展示了研究过程的互动性,以及我如何处理我所谓的参与者痛苦。参与者的痛苦表现为参与者对我这个跨性别研究者如何看待他们的反应感到焦虑。我通过戈夫曼的视角来分析痛苦,认为压力是一个更具体的互动过程,它破坏了导致内疚或愤怒的非规范性陈述。

Drawing on 21 interviews with 12 training participants and the training instructor, plus 12 hours of ethnographic observations of 4 Ally Trainings, I show the interactive nature of the research process and how I navigated what I call participant distress. Participant distress manifested due to participant anxiety regarding how I, a trans researcher, perceived their responses. I analyze distress through the lens of Goffman, and offer cistress as a more specific interactive process of disrupting cisnormative statements that results in guilt or anger.","PeriodicalId":47675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Ethnography","volume":"51 1","pages":"700 - 725"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47970341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Designed based on careful specifications and regulations, commercial refrigerators can be found in almost all restaurants across the United States. In this article I explore the multifaceted role of the commercial walk-in refrigerator as a space of mediation, secrecy, and pacification among restaurant industry workers in central Florida. I analyze two years of ethnographic research conducted from 2015 to 2017, and argue that the refrigerator acts as a liminal zone within the restaurant, which is used by management to subdue, pacify, and placate employees. To do so I draw on literature by design justice scholars on discriminatory design, to consider the ways in which the physical structure of American restaurant establishments perpetuate physical and emotional abuse of workers.
商用冰箱是根据详细的规格和规定设计的,在美国几乎所有的餐馆都能找到。在这篇文章中,我探讨了商业步入式冰箱作为佛罗里达州中部餐饮业工人调解、保密和安抚空间的多方面作用。我分析了从2015年到2017年进行的两年人种学研究,并认为冰箱是餐厅内的一个界限区,管理人员用它来制服、安抚和安抚员工。为了做到这一点,我借鉴了设计正义学者关于歧视性设计的文献,来考虑美国餐馆的物理结构如何使工人的身体和情感虐待永久化。
