Multimodality and ethnography:
working at the intersection BAAL Multimodality and Linguistic Ethnography SIGs 26th February 2008, 10:00 - 16:00 This seminar will explore what happens when an attempt
is made to unite the two research fields of multimodality and linguistic
ethnography, and will consider some of the problems and difficulties
involved in combining the two fields. The seminar will provide a forum
for experienced and new researchers to share their work and insights,
with a focus on practical examples from empirical research. A key
aim is to develop a network of people who are interested in exploring
the theoretical and methodological intersections between multimodality
and ethnography, with a view to extending and enriching the description
and analysis of social practice. 1) How can research methodologies be enhanced by combining multimodal and ethnographic approaches? 2) How does a focus on the affordances of different modalities usefully extend and enhance the 'thick description' demanded by fine-grained ethnography? 3) How does incorporating visual/material cultural methodologies enhance ethnographic research?
