Interakcinė etnografija: metodologija ar epistemologija?

Abstract

This article presents transformation of social research practice in the change of methodological approach and traditions. The researcher faces a dilemma whether ethnography should be considered as methodology, research method or epistemology. It has been claimed that contemporary ethnography is collated with dialogues between cultures and interpreting them as a part of creative process of producing a narrative or a construct in conducting scientific research and carrying out an experiment that are not restrained by any disciplines. Thus, a retrospective insight into the background of ethnography and its characteristics intrinsic to ethnography in or of education unfolds interactional ethnography as an epistemology or a way of knowing and research philosophy that is distinguished by recursive, iterative and abductive logic, not a predefined set of steps or fieldwork methods. SaNTrauKa Šiame straipsnyje aptariama, kaip, kintant metodologinėms tyrimų prieigoms bei tradicijoms, transformuojasi socialinių tyrimų praktika, bei keliamas dileminis klausimas: kas yra etnografija-metodologija ar epistemologija. Teigiama, kad šiuolaikinė etnografija yra dialogas tarp kultūrų, jų interpretavimas, kūrybinis procesas, pasakojimas, konstruktas, mokslinis tyrimas ir eksperimentas, kurio neįstengia suvaržyti disciplinos. Tad būtina pažvelgti į etnografinio tyrimo atsiradimo ištakas bei charakteristikas, būdingas edukologijos mokslo kontekste, pristatančias interakcinę etnografiją kaip epistemologiją, t. y. pažinimo būdą arba tyrimo filosofiją, pasižyminčią rekursyvia, ineraktyvia ir abduktyvia logika, bet ne iš anksto apibrėžtais žingsniais ar tyrimo lauko metodais.

Music Therapy for People with Intellectual Disabilities: Stigma Intervention Strategies

“…From the epistemological aspect, the work is inseparable from the interactive ethnographic approach, which substantiates the choice of ecological systems theory and the impact of music therapy conducted by the social worker not only on the individual but also on other environments surrounding him/her as well as the client's behaviour changing in these environments (cf. Bridges et al, 2016;Bridges, 2015;Jin et al, 2015;Latakienė & Baranauskienė, 2019;Pink et al, 2017;Bairašauskienė, 2019). The chosen approaches allowed not only to look at the research object from different angles but also to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon under investigation by answering the research questions posed: How useful is music therapy for people with intellectual disabilities in the context of social work striving to overcome stigma and choosing music therapy as a strategy?…”
