thanks for all the replies so far
i am 'writing up' my methodology chapter at the moment and trying to order my thoughts about ethnography, and using the 'text' or 'dialogue' of my informants to write an authoritative ethnographic narrative. I was intrigued by Schaap's use of the term 'postmodern ethnography', and his use of Tyler's distinctions that dialogue presented in text is not dialogue, consequently, that any representation of that dialogue doesn't even (re)present a prior reality or truth.

(i have looked at Auge, Latour and Marcus among others)
Hi Denise -- I think you might enjoy Patti Lather's _Getting Smart: feminist research and pedagogy with/in the postmodern_ and her experimental ethnography _troubling the Angels_ -- Lather calls the latter book "a combination of critical ethnography and participatory action research" and she uses interviews and plays with/questions the ability of the author to write the 'authoritative' account in interesting ways (I think). best, Caitlin ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸ Dr. Caitlin Fisher Assistant Professor Fine Arts Cultural Studies York University 4700 Keele Street Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3J 1P3 voice: 416-736-2100 Ext.20744 fax: 416-650-8034 www.yorku.ca/caitlin/ ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸
