Interview Write up

Because your paper will be only about 4-5 pages (double-spaced), you will inevitably not use all of the information you collect in your interview – and this is normal in any research (qualitative or quantitative). Your task will be to select excerpts from the interviews in order to illustrate several main points.

As you begin to think about organizing your collected data and writing your paper, you will need to pull out themes running through the interviews. In particular, think about similarities and differences in your informants’ experiences of being a woman/man/other gender. For instance, perhaps you find that their experiences in paid work are vastly different, but their experiences in intimate relationships have some similarities. If so, you can use direct quotes from the interviewees to illustrate the discussion of these themes. The organization of your paper will be very important to your overall grade on this assignment; the paper should include the following sections (clearly labeled):

1.An Introduction to the paper in which you briefly discuss what you see as your major findings (i.e., what interesting issues about family emerged from your interviews). The introduction should include a brief description of the key informants.

2.Results of the data will form the bulk of the paper. It is critical that you link your data to concepts, theories, and issues that we’ve been discussing and reading about in class. *Put each concept or theory you use in your paper in bold font the first time you use it (and normal font subsequent times). You can’t discuss all issues; you’ll need to select the ones that are most clearly related to your interviewees and your data. Do not simply describe the interviews from start to finish, and don’t try to include all the date you collect.

3.The Conclusion should very briefly summarize your interview experiences. You should address questions like the following: What was the interview experience like? Did it give you any new insight on issues you learned about this semester?

Ethnographic Fieldwork Assignment

Goal:  To collect two (2) forms of ethnographic data for your final project. For your final project, you are required to collect a minimum of two different types of data.  You are welcome to collect more, if you have time and if you think it will be helpful to your project.

In this class and in the Anthropology program, we have discussed the various research methods listed below (some to greater degrees than others).  Discuss 2 that you plan to implement on the “Research Plan” grid.  And, discuss the outcomes of your data collection on the “Data Collected” grid featured below.

 

Ethnographic Research Methods

Observational Methods

Participant observation

Behavioral Mapping (see Setha Low)

Movement Mapping (see Setha Low)

Cultural resource mapping (when you map resources that are culturally significant to a community)

Time motion studies (see William Whyte’s film)

 

Interview approaches

Key informant interviews (when you interview a person with a special perspective in the community

Semi structured interviews

Transect walks (when you interview someone while they walk and point out culturally and socially significant spaces and views in a landscape)

Transect drives (same as above only while driving or taking a bus or train)

Mapping social networks (when you map out individuals’ relationships based on information you gather when surveying or interviewing someone)

 

Archival research

Gathering any of the following:

Grey literature, maps, brochures, menus, photos, tweets, documentation of signage, videos, musical recordings, newspaper stories, letters, official documents

 

Others??

How do people use and relate to public space in xyz neighborhood? How do people live in neighborhoods undergoing gentrification? How does gentrification affect people’s lives? How do people make use of and relate to specific forms of transportations such as public buses and trains?

LA ETHNOGRAPHY PROJECT

BACKGROUND

Los Angeles is a fascinating city that is hard to define.  Some theorists think LA is hard to define because it does not seem to have a clear center like “The Loop” in Chicago, ‘downtown’ in New York City or the zócalo in Mexico City.  According to Mariana Petersen’s ethnography Sound, Space, and the City (2010), she demonstrates how officials in Los Angeles sought to improve the image of the city by artificially creating a downtown center (e.g. The Civic Center).  Petersen questions what this type of center does for the city—does it actually bring diverse people in Los Angeles together? It appears that the Civic Center defines the city in a particular way, but does this new definition resonate with the city’s history and with the people who live and work there?

Other theorists, such as Norman Klein, think LA is hard to define because it is a city that has been forgotten. Klein focuses on the fact that much of the city’s history has been erased as neighborhoods were dislocated and rearranged in order for highways to be built and for the city to be modernized in the 1950s. In The History of Forgetting: Los Angeles and the Erasure of Memory (1997), Klein argues most people are not aware of the radical changes that were made to LA. Modernization has created a good deal of historical amnesia, and has left a blank space for people to fill in their own definitions of the history and character of the city. Klein finds it humorous that tourists who visit LA assume an authority over knowledge of the city when they haven’t even visited the city for more than a month. Meanwhile, local residents hesitate to characterize the city because they know that there are gaps in their knowledge. For Klein, these reactions are curious and suggest that not only is LA difficult to define, but there is a question as to who has the right to define it.

 

Objective:  Using anthropological tools and methods, you will describe and analyze a facet of urban life in Los Angeles. This project may be “place-based” (i.e. defined by a neighborhood, area, or space within the city) or “people-based” (i.e. defined by a group of people who are most likely to be on the move or located in more than one space). The project requires fieldwork. You must visit your fieldsite a minimum of 2 times during the semester, so you need to choose a site or a group of people that will be feasible for you to study.

Process:  There are 3 parts to the project:  1) Literature review; 2) Fieldwork; 3) Analysis, Write Up and Drawing Connections.

The Scope of Assignment:  By the end of the course, you are expected to write a 10 page essay [15 pages for “490” students”] based on your review of literature and data collection. You will need to integrate your fieldnotes with an analysis of urban life in LA that is informed by the theoretical readings in the course and possibly historical readings that relate to the space or group of people that you choose to study.  Your final project may include photographs, maps, tables, recordings, illustrations and/or any other form of documentation that you feel is important to the story that you wish to tell. Expect to include a bibliography of references that inform your narrative.

 

Possible Research Topics:

Remember, when developing a research topic, I would like for you to focus on an anthropology of the city rather than an anthropology in the city.  That is to say, at the end of the paper, readers will want to hear your insights about the city through the lens of your topic.  The context of the city is central to the project.

Develop a question that is important to you AND is answerable by reviewing literature, conducting participant observation, a few interviews, and documenting by creating maps and other visual representation of the outcomes of your research.

 

Here are some sample research questions to consider:

How do people use and relate to public space in xyz neighborhood?

How do people live in neighborhoods undergoing gentrification? How does gentrification affect people’s lives?

How do people make use of and relate to specific forms of transportations such as public buses and trains?

How is urban life expressed through food, music, car culture, clothing, art, performance, architecture, or another form of cultural expression?

How does the city shape individuals and communities’ experiences with health care, education, housing, financial, political, and legal systems among other systems?

How do people remember parts of a city?

How do people envision the future of a city?
