The Roots: Ethnography - Genesis of a Method Ethnographic methods descend from cultural anthropologic ﬁeld research (Malinowski, Mead) generally within the natural setting of a social group „The ethnographer participates, overtly or covertly, in people’s daily lives for an extended period of time, watching what happens, listening to what is said, asking questions in fact collecting whatever data are available to throw light on the issues with which he or she is concerned.” (Atkinson & Hammersley 1983) NetnoCamp Cologne 17.09.2010 13 Klaus M.Janowitz mail@klaus-janowitz.deDonnerstag, 9. Dezember 2010

In Sociology research in subcultures or sub-systems within the own society ethnography gives a deep insight in everyday life and lifestyle - with all strategies of survival, symbols and rituals Ethnography of scenes (R. Hitzler): participation in the social ﬁeld - into linguistical and habitual customs and patterns; narrative interviews Steps ( R. Girtler): scheduling pre-understanding collection of material (ﬁeldnotes) participant observation other sources interpretation presentation ot the results NetnoCamp Cologne 17.09.2010 14 Klaus M.Janowitz mail@klaus-janowitz.deDonnerstag, 9.

Perspectives - examples of research fields e.g.: strategies of debt management Fashion-Communities, translocal work or: cultural impact of Online-Communities in Saudi-Arabia An essential part of modern social life happens in the web. Social- and market research can not neglect this living environment. Netnography defines tools for research. Differences to Web-Monitoring Web monitoring captures systematically and software- based the public communication in the Internet about specific terms and topics - mostly quantitative Netnography is a mostly qualitative research process, which integrates different tools - and monitoring- software provides valuable service Differences to Market Research Online Communities Netnography occurs in the natural setting, MROCs are a managed environment for use in market research NetnoCamp Cologne 17.09.2010 17 Klaus M.Janowitz mail@klaus-janowitz.deDonnerstag, 9.

Market Research Online Communities (MROC) Market research-driven online communities: The Internet serves as a media tool of the collection, not as a social space to be explored - private communities for speciﬁc clients - panel communities no „natural setting“ activity and engagement are highly dependent on binding to a particular company or incentivation NetnoCamp Cologne 17.09.2010 18 Klaus M.Janowitz mail@klaus-janowitz.deDonnerstag, 9.

Ethics Basic Questions: Are online-communities public or private spaces? How does the researcher gains informed consent? content accessible without limitation may be considered as public 1) The researcher should fully disclose his or her presence, afﬁliations, and intentions to online community members during any research 2) The researchers should ensure conﬁdentiality and anonymity to informants (3) The researcher should seek and incorporate feedback from members of the online community being researched (4) The researcher should take a cautious position on the private-versus-public medium issue.
