“…While there are numerous publications explaining the principles of ethnographic methods, it is hard to find anthropologists engaging in such writing, unless they are transdisciplinary researchers, such as H. Russell Bernard (2011). While embracing the view that ethnography is an approach to research, anthropological texts on methodology often reflect on the problems and issues of being in the field, such as for instance, the intimate relations with research participants (Kulick and Willson 1995;Markowitz and Ashkenazi 1999), emotions (Powdermaker 1967), or the researcher's identity and self consciousness (Nash et al 1972). …”

The authors -two anthropologists and an organisational theorist, all organisational ethnographers -discuss their understanding and practices of organisational ethnography as a way of imagining and reflect on how similar this understanding may be for young organisational researchers and students in particular. The discussion leads to the conclusion that organisational ethnography may be regarded as a methodology but that it has a much greater potential when it is reclaiming its roots: to become a mode of doing social science on the meso-level. The discussion is based on an analysis of both historical material and the contemporary learning experiences of teaching organisational ethnography as more than a method to our students.Keywords: organisational ethnography; anthropology; teaching and learning organisational ethnography, sociological imagination; ethnographic imagination; research methods Word count: 7,917 1 We would like to thank the anonymous Reviewers and the Editor for their thoughtful comments which helped us to considerably improve this article.As a science, organizational ethnography needs to be concerned with creating systematic generalizations about "how the world works". It needs to be theoretically informed and informing; it needs to contribute to the broader body of knowledge which constitutes organization and management studies. It enables theoretical, rather than empirical, generalizations to be made. (Watson 2011, 209)

“…The qualities not only of objectivity, but also ©2000 Tourism Recreation Research empathy or understanding are essential in a good ethnography. Accordingly, procedures such as controlled participant observation during fieldwork and astute use of informants are necessary (see Hammersley and Atkinson 1993: 124-156); and because current ethnographic understandings also recognize the role of the observer as a factor in the construction of views of people and their activities (see Nash and Wintrob 1972), the ':;sue of reflexivity has arisen. This has been associated with a certain diminution of "privilege" for observers who are increasingly seen as subject to the same kind of forces that move their subjects (see Hammersley and Atkinson 1993: 16-21).…”

“…In this light, for example, a recent article about David MacDougall's film The Age of Reason (2004) explores the self-inscription of the filmmaker into his film in order to shape a different account from an inner/ outer integrated perspective (Carta 2013). Actually, the increase in self-consciousness as a relevant academic topic was already addressed by Nash et al (1972) nearly forty years ago, and its role and relevance in writing production has already been stressed several times (Okely andCallaway 1995 [1992]; Hayano 2001Hayano [1979; Ellis 2004;Muncey 2010;Collins andGallinat 2013 [2010]). Moreover, in recent years the relevance of autoethnography as methodological insight has also gained relevance in visual and audiovisual approaches, from autobiographical comics (El Refaie 2010) to participatory videos (Zoettl 2012).…”

SUMMARYIn this article, I inquire about the kind of new knowledge audiovisual insights could provide in the field of International Adoption studies, and how these outcomes could give rise to new ways of approaching that subject. In doing so, I tackle the centrality of cultural imaginaries in International Adoption and the prolificacy of audiovisual research in anthropology to gain a better understanding. Hence, I consider adoptive itineraries as culturally situated contexts that render folk ideologies visible and may become foundational imaginaries that demand the encompassment of academic research with a more general ethnographic comprehension of such cultural representations and ideologies.Key words: Audiovisual Research; Anthropology; International Adoption; Adoptive Imaginaries. RESUMENEn este artículo reflexiono acerca de los nuevos conocimientos que la investigación audiovisual podría aportar al ámbito de los estudios en adopción internacional y en cómo sus resultados pueden iluminar nuevas formas de aproximarse al problema. Para ello, parto de la centralidad de los imaginarios culturales en la adopción internacional y de la fecundidad de la investigación audiovisual en antropología para su mejor comprensión. De este modo, considero los itinerarios adoptivos como contextos culturalmente situados que visibilizan ideologías populares y pueden devenir imaginarios fundacionales que reclaman la imbricación de la investigación académica con una comprensión etnográfica más general de estas ideologías y representaciones culturales.
