Ethnografie

Abstract

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine umfassende Darstellung des ethnografischen Forschungsansatzes. Es führt in die methodologischen Grundlagen, den Forschungsprozess sowie die konkreten Schritte der Forschungspraxis ein. Die Autoren zeigen, wie sich Ethnografen ihrem Feld annähern, Daten gewinnen und wieder auf Distanz zum Feld gehen, wie sie an Protokollen arbeiten, Überraschungen entdecken, Daten sortieren und Themen entwickeln. Es wendet sich an Studierende der Soziologie, der Ethnologie, der Erziehungswissenschaft, der empirischen Kulturwissenschaft und an alle Sozialwissenschaftler/innen, die Ethnografie treiben wollen. Prof. Dr. Georg Breidenstein ist Erziehungswissenschaftler an der Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Prof. Dr. Stefan Hirschauer und Prof. Dr. Herbert Kalthoff sind Soziologen an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. Jun.-Prof. Dr. Boris Nieswand ist Ethnologe und Soziologe an der Universität Tübingen.

Negotiations of language(s) and inequalities in transnational family biographies

Five children (born in 1983, 1988, 1993, 1995, 2004 I take a reconstructive perspective that accounts for situated logics as well as the biographical processing of situated experiences.…”

Bewegung, Spiel und Sport im Kindesalter

“…Ethnographie beruht auf der Interaktion von Forschenden mit Menschen und dem Betreten ihrer Lebensräume, um tiefgreifende Einblicke in soziale Phänomene und Strukturen zu erhalten (z.B. Breidenstein et al, 2013). In unserem Fall ist dies das Betreten von lebensweltlichen Online-Schauplätzen, um Einblicke in das Phänomen und die Struktur sportunterrichtsbezogener digitaler Lernkulturen zu erlangen.…”

Care practices of specialized outpatient pediatric palliative care teams in collaboration with parents: Results of participatory observations

“…The presented data is part of the study "Evaluation of specialized outpatient palliative care in the German state of Hesse (ELSAH)," which aimed to explore the specific needs of children and adolescents receiving specialized outpatient pediatric palliative care and to make recommendations for the inclusion of their needs into the national rule of procedure on specialized outpatient palliative care. 17 As part of this project, we conducted participatory observations 18 with the three specialized outpatient pediatric palliative care teams in Hesse, Germany and accompanied them during home visits. In this paper, we present the findings of a thematic analysis and focus on professional strategies of the palliative care teams in interaction with parents.…”

“…In this paper, we present the findings of a thematic analysis and focus on professional strategies of the palliative care teams in interaction with parents. As ethnographic methods enable researchers to observe practices and recognize underlying knowledge through the immediate experience of social practices, 18,19 we chose this method to present a thick description of the care practices of the palliative care teams in their everyday work with parents.…”

“…Afterwards we developed observation protocols 18 from our notes on each case. When two researchers were present, they combined their notes and agreed on one report.…”
