“…Coined by Clifford in 1997 and rehabilitated by Geertz in 1998, the term "deep hanging out" describes how immersing oneself in a cultural group on an informal level can generate real stories of real people (Walmsley, 2018). Although poorly documented and described in literature, there are some studies where deep hanging out was used (e.g., Boyd, 2015;Wogan, 2010;Woodward, 2008). Walmsley (2018) gives a detailed account of the advantages and disadvantages of deep hanging out.…”

The aim of this study is to find a research method that results in capturing lived experiences of problematic online behavior of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities and borderline intellectual functioning within four risk domains: commercial interests, aggression, sexuality, and values/ideology. Three research methods were examined and field-tested in small sample pilot studies: an online questionnaire (N ¼ 16), two focus group interviews (N ¼ 6 and N ¼ 14), and a combination of participatory observations and visual elicitation (N ¼ 2). Both the questionnaire and the focus group studies were not able to generate sufficient knowledge to capture lived experiences. Key issues that arose were the respondents' comprehension of the research questions, their tendency to give socially desirable answers, the influence of group dynamics, and a lack of rapport between researcher and respondent. Results generated from the third pilot study were more promising. Participatory observations in the form of deep hanging out combined with conversational interviewing and elements of visual elicitation mended these issues and helped to create an authentic research environment, build real relationships, and level the playing field between researcher and respondents. Additionally, it invited the respondents to voice their opinions and feelings about their online experiences. Finally, the study inspires to use different communicational means with the adolescents to increase the understanding of their virtual world. Some important ethical and methodological limitations to these findings are discussed.

“…Multisite ethnographies seem to retain more of a pluralism as regards sources to include a range of 'polymorphous engagements' involving 'interacting with informants across a number of dispersed sites, but also doing fieldwork by telephone and email, collecting data eclectically in many different ways from a disparate array of sources' (Hannerz 2003: 212). This eclecticism has scandalized some quarters that seek to preserve the 'rigour' of more traditional field work (Gustavson and Cytrynbaum 2003;Wogan 2004). …”

“…in the 19th century, before melding with anatomical, racialist measures in the 20th century. If we included alphabetic writing (a "technology" that, to this day, is used to distinguish Western from "nonliterate" peoples), such classifications would have an even deeper history (Adas 1989:53-59;Certeau 1988;Mignolo 1995;Wogan 1994Wogan , 2004c. But perhaps the closest counterparts to "FC's" Leahy brothers are the many European travelers who, like the following French traveler of the late 1700s, have amused themselves by overawing African natives with simple technological devices:…”

This paper examines student perceptions of humor in the film First Contact. Based on previous critiques of cultural representations—namely, charges that some ethnographic films replicate stereotypes and that images of deified European explorers instantiate a “myth model”—the paper considers the possibility that laughter evoked by First Contact derives from the viewers’ sense of cultural superiority. For the most part, this interpretation is not confirmed. Instead, audience laughter is found to be based on incongruities in the interactions captured in the film. Using notions of incongruity, connections are drawn between humor, wonder, intellectual discovery, and cultural contact.
