LGP7 \u00a0DOING VISUAL ETHNOGRAPHY\"TwilightZone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The author has written on this subject before and based on the current technology, she decided to update her writing to include these new era of ideas. She stated that this book maybe geared more toward researchers. This statement encouraged me to be more attentive to what was written. I must admit, I struggled to retain my interest with some parts of the book.<\/p>\n

Pink reflected from her preparation experience in writing about women bullfighters. She included inserts of photos she used along with her text caption. She included other writers point of views to help explain the ethnography process.<\/p>\n

Ethnography I found to be the branch of anthropology dealing with the scientific description of individual cultures. (Free Dictionary) Pink identifies this as a process which intertwines the visual and text together to present a unique and complete understanding of the text by the reader. This appears on the surface simple but the author states there are two things to consider when using the visuals: its\u2019 relevance and how it engages with its disciplines (academic or interdisciplinary). The question the writer must consider is how the reader will interpret the visual. She gave an example of how a person feels about a cause would affect their view of your writing. As it related to her photo of the women bullfighter, some may\u00a0not like bullfighting, or do not believe women should be in such a dangerous sport, etc.<\/p>\n

The author states the writer should initially start their research online utilizing websites, blogs, forums, and others which incorporate visuals in their presentation. (53) This will assist in helping you with techniques, poses, and focuses in preparation of your presentation. \u00a0Visuals ethnography includes photographs and videos. The photographs tell a story and should include captions to help explain your view. The researcher should take photos which help them relate to their research to their subject.\u00a0 Photos of individuals can lead to additional facts and details from the subject(s) when they see themselves in the photo. The videos are challenging, it has to capture and maintain the viewer\u2019s interest. One should edit the video to include expressive imagery assist in telling the story. (119)<\/p>\n

Pink provided seven concepts that can be helpful to determine the effective process to use. They are: interactivity, temporal structure, social cues, storage, replicability, reach, and mobility. (124) \u00a0When you are using text and ethnography in an academic setting, one should not be naive in using the combination. She states that there are multiple ways to intertwine the ethnographic process using photos, and videos in a constructive arrangement. (173) \u00a0There are many ways photos can be laid out within the text. (175)<\/p>\n

This book was one to assist us during our preparation of our academic research to include visual presentations in\u00a0various ways to capture the readers view. This was a hard read for me but I was able to distract information that captured by view. All of the various terminology of ethnography was an overload for me. \u00a0I did enjoy the photos she included in the book.<\/p>\n
