Being Ethnographic is an essential introductory guidebook to the methods and applications of doing fieldwork in real-world settings. It discusses the future of ethnography, explores how we understand identity, and sets out the role of technology in a global, networked society.

Driven by classic and anecdotal case studies, Being Ethnographic highlights the challenges introduced by the ethnographers′ own interests, biases and ideologies and demonstrates the importance of methodological reflexivity. Addressing both the why and how questions of doing ethnography well, Madden demonstrates how both theory and practice can work together to produce insights into the human condition. This fully updated second edition includes:



New material on intersubjectivity
Information on digital inscription tools
A practical guide to qualitative analysis software
New coverage of cyberethnography and social media
Expanded information on ethnographic possibilities with animals

Filled with invaluable advice for applying ethnographic principles in the field, it will give researchers across social sciences everything they need to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

Raymond Madden is an anthropologist in the School of Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. He has taught ethnographic methods, applied anthropology, and human and animal anthropology for over a decade. He published textbook, Being Ethnographic in 2010 and a second edition in 2017 (SAGE).
