virtual ethnography
Laetitia, University of Bergen I am looking for articles or books on virtual ethnography guiding step by step in the research. I want to interview and make surveys for online health community 's participants.
Check out Christine Hine's book entitled Virtual Ethnography. Also, Kevin Leander has written on this topic, but refers to it as connective ethnography and travelling ethnography.

Thank you Maryam, I knew about Hine' s book but I will have a look at Kevin Leander. Sincerely, Laetitia Le 29 janv. 09 à 08:46, Maryam Moayeri a écrit :

Theory and transition thoughts from the real to virtual rather than a step by step guide, is found in the work by Boellstorff Coming of Age in Second Life. I think his framework he describes for his research could be used to extract a step by step guide perhaps.

Hi Laetitia, I've carried out participatory observation in SL since late 2006 (and studied VW since 2002), presently, I'm translating into English the two books I've written about virtual worlds (EverQuest, Second Life, Activeworlds), but a very preliminary English version of the SL observations can be found on the blog: worlds.ruc.dk, http://worlds.ruc.dk/index.php?cat=5. Use Explorer to open the file (it's heavy due to many snapshots) - for some reason Firefox doesn't work. Sisse ;-) laetitia le chatton wrote:

Here's a MIT OCW "Ethnography" course - http://tinyurl.com/dg32zg (also http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Science--Technology--and-Society/STS-360Ethnograph ySpring2003/Calendar/index.htm) - but not on virtual ethnography. In a related vein, I'm looking for a "Virtual Ethnography" syllabus from MIT, Cal, Stanford, Cambridge, Ivy League schools, the Sorbonne, University of Munich, University of Chicago, etc. Are there any syllabi out there that you know of on "Virtual Ethnography" vis-a-vis MIT's above?

Hi Laetitia, I would recommend some general books on ethnography (not virtual) to get a solid grounding in the background, history, and current practices. One of your colleagues there in Bergen should be able to point you to several books/articles, as she's done a lot of ethnographic research (Hilde Arntsen). I would also recommend looking at the various types of qualitative methods you want to use within the large (and often too-vague) umbrella "virtual ethnography." You mention interviewing and survey, but as you read more about ethnography, you might remove or add specific frameworks and procedures for gathering, sorting or analyzing information. Once you break the methods down more specifically, the methodology resources can provide more specific step by step guidance. For interviewing, I would start with this comprehensive volume, if your library has it: Gubrium, Jaber, & Holstein, James (2001). Handbook of Interview Research. London: Sage. Since you may be considering mixing qualitative and quantitative methods, I recommend John Creswell as a good introduction to research design, because he compares different approaches in the same books. He also gives decent 'step by step' guidance. I would supplement both these books with other, more comprehensive resources, but these are both good introductions to what you might want to accomplish: Creswell, John (2008). Research Design: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method approaches. London: Sage. Cresswell, John (2006). Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing among five methods. London: Sage.

Hello Laetitia (and others), I could not agree more with Dr Markham regarding the anchoring of (qualitative) virtual research in 'traditional' ethnography. During the writing of my thesis I found "Qualitative Research Practice" edited by Clive Seale, Jay Gubrium, Giampietro Gobo and David Silverman particularly useful for getting a good overview, as well as detailed accounts, on current issues and practices (the volume also includes an excellent chapter on the Internet as Research Context by Dr Markham).
