The book Annette Markham and I are working on is not out yet, but starting points would include: Christine Hine _Virtual Ethnography_ Christine Hine _Virtual Methods_ Chris Mann _Internet Research and Qualitative Methods_ Annette Markham _Life Online_ Some examples of online ethnographies in addition to those embedded in the above would be : Lori Kendall _Hanging Out In The Virtual Pub_ my own _Tune In, Log On_ And that's just the books that are most relevant, there are many articles published in the last decade as well. In short, there's a ton of examples and explicit considerations of the methodological considerations entailed in online ethnography. Best Nancy
Hi all-
I was wondering if anyone has come across articles and literature on doing online ethnography. I know that AOIR has put together an ethical document on doing online research more broadly, but has there been any kind of exploration of the role and definition of ethnography in online environments? It seems to me that there has been work into online communities and online behaviors and practices through the use offline ethnography, but has there been any kind of consideration of what online ethnography would look like or be defined as?
