“…It can be argued that the approach could also support theory-building of behavioural, cognitive or other aspects of TS, and that therefore ethnographic methods can have relevance for a wide range of research aims. Buzelin (2007a) also supports the development of theory resulting from ethnographic enquiry: "Ethnography rests, ultimately, upon an epistemology that is essentially inductive in nature, viewing the object in such a way as to allow the emergence of new questions and new categories that exceed pre-constructed oppositions." (2007a:143) The focus on employing methods that produce detailed and generally qualitative data to build general principles from, although far from ground-breaking, does allow for what Koskinen (2008:2) terms "contextualised and situated observing" which can accommodate complexity and contradictory evidence in produced data.…”

“…The ethnographic concept of reciprocity was also applied by Buzelin (2007a). Participants in her ethnographic research on translators and publishers of literary fiction were asked to read her research before it was published, "so that they could ensure it is not detrimental to their interests " (2007a:145).…”

“…(Buzelin 2007a:144) Translation studies process researchers can aim to get closer to understanding translators' perspectives and obtain valuable information about their attitudes and behaviours 8 beyond that which is tapped into through traditional TAPs, key-stroke logging, screen recording or eye tracking.…”

In recent years, technologically advanced methodologies such as Translog have gained a lot of ground in translation process research. However, in this paper it will be argued that quantitative research methods can be supplemented by ethnographic qualitative ones so as to enhance our understanding of what underlies the translation process. Although translation studies scholars have sometimes applied an ethnographic approach to the study of translation, this paper offers a different perspective and considers the potential of ethnographic research methods for tapping cognitive and behavioural aspects of the translation process. A number of ethnographic principles are discussed and it is argued that process researchers aiming to understand translators’ perspectives and intentions, how these shape their behaviours, as well as how translators reflect on the situations they face and how they see themselves, would undoubtedly benefit from adopting an ethnographic framework for their studies on translation processes.

“…Rather then trying to conceptualise ready-made systems, these theories study how social actors create social networks. One of such theories, the actor-network theory (ANT) developed by Latour and Callon, has been discussed in application to translation (Buzelin 2007;Bogic 2010).…”
