The Field Site as a Network: A Strategy for Locating Ethnographic Research
Through the work of constructing a fieldsite, researchers define the objects and subjects of their research. This article explores a variety of strategies devised by researchers to map social research onto spatial terrain. Virtual networked field sites are among the recent approaches that are challenging conventional thinking about field-based research. The benefits and consequences of one part...
متن کاملProblematizing the Field: Theorizing Spatial Volatility in Ethnographic Fieldwork
The purpose of this paper is to problematize the idea of the ethnographic field that is usually taken for granted in Information Systems (IS) field research.

In use, the Clock supported not only family co-ordination but also more emotive aspects of family ...

This paper suggests that entrance into the field can be seen as a rite of passage into a practice world.
