I began to realize something fundamental about field-work: that it is useless to concentrate exclusively on one's 'research project.' One has to be endlessly curious about everything, sharpen one's eyes and ears, and take notes about everything. The experience of strangeness makes all your senses more sensitive than normal, and your attachment to comparison grows deeper. This is why fieldwork is also so useful when you return home. You will have developed habits of observation and comparison that encourage or force you to start noticing that your own culture is just as strange. ~ Benedict Anderson
Fieldwork quotes by Benedict Anderson
Their term project consists of a fieldwork collection of folklore that they create by interviewing family members, friends, or anyone they can manage to persuade to serve as an informant. ~ Alan Dundes
Fieldwork quotes by Alan Dundes
Much of my knowledge of locations in Britain and Europe comes not from school, but from away games or the sports pages, and hooliganism has given me both a taste for sociology and a degree of fieldwork experience. ~ Nick Hornby
Fieldwork quotes by Nick Hornby
No one plows the field just by thinking about it. ~ Ljupka Cvetanova
Fieldwork quotes by Ljupka Cvetanova
The classroom as a living, breathing place. They chose discussions over lectures, experience over theory. They sent students to the Deep South for civil rights projects and to the inner city for fieldwork. They went ~ Mitch Albom
Fieldwork quotes by Mitch Albom
Collection Methods in Qualitative Studies Where was the setting of the study? What was the rationale for choosing the setting? Who were the participants and what were their roles and characteristics? Why were they chosen? What data collection methods were used? What role did the researcher adopt within the setting? Who collected the data and were they qualified for their roles? How were data collectors trained? Was the training adequate? Was the process of the fieldwork adequately reported? How did the event unfold? Was data collection continued until saturation was achieved? Were the researchers' assumptions or biases acknowledged? ~ Nola A. Schmidt
Fieldwork quotes by Nola A. Schmidt
There is more to folklore research than fieldwork. This is why in all of my other upper-division courses I require a term paper involving original research. ~ Alan Dundes
Fieldwork quotes by Alan Dundes
I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists - you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they're 70. ~ Greg Graffin
Fieldwork quotes by Greg Graffin
The way to do fieldwork is never to come up for air until it is all over. ~ Margaret Mead
Fieldwork quotes by Margaret Mead
Read non-fiction. History, biology, entomology, mineralogy, paleontology. Get a bodyguard and do fieldwork. Find your inner fish. Don't publish too soon. Not before you have read Thomas Mann in any case. Learn by copying, sentence by sentence some of the masters. Copy Coetzee's or Sebald's sentences and see what happens to your story. Consider creative non-fiction if you want to stay in South Africa. It might be the way to go. Never neglect back and hamstring exercises, otherwise you won't be able to write your novel. One needs one's buttocks to think. ~ Marlene Van Niekerk
Fieldwork quotes by Marlene Van Niekerk
The Restless Anthropologist is a rich, powerful, and compulsively readable collection of essays by anthropologists who look back at the multiple relationships between their serial fieldwork experiences and their lives. Illustrating the dense interweaving of the personal and the professional that is the hallmark of anthropology as a vocation, these essays are at once affectively deep reflections, and clear-eyed assessments, of lives often lived 'between here and there.' Alma Gottlieb's idea to stimulate these articles and bring together this collection was inspired. ~ Sherry Ortner
Fieldwork quotes by Sherry Ortner
I got interested in palaeontology and vertebrate history - sparked by books on human evolution - then vertebrate evolution. Studying with palaeontologists kindled my interest in fieldwork. ~ Greg Graffin
Fieldwork quotes by Greg Graffin
Before doing fieldwork in Middle Egypt, I analyzed satellite imagery to determine exactly where I wanted to go. Within three weeks, I found about 70 sites. If I had approached this as a traditional foot survey, it would have taken me three and a half years. ~ Sarah Parcak
Fieldwork quotes by Sarah Parcak
Ethnography literally means 'a portrait of a people.' An ethnography is a written description of a particular culture - the customs, beliefs, and behavior - based on information collected through fieldwork. ~ Marvin Harris
Fieldwork quotes by Marvin Harris
The legends of fieldwork locate all important sites deep in inaccessible jungles inhabited by fierce beasts and restless natives, and surrounded by miasmas of putrefaction and swarms of tsetse flies. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Fieldwork quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
I find myself doing fieldwork physically, in the tradition of anthropology. I literally go to the opposite end of the world, to the most exotic faraway places I possibly can, only to find the closest things to me when I get there. ~ Aleksandra Mir
Fieldwork quotes by Aleksandra Mir
Fieldwork is probably always more likely to be holistic than lab work or mathematical modeling because in the field you can't get away from the whole when a research project starts. ~ Temple Grandin
Fieldwork quotes by Temple Grandin
It is worthwhile studying other peoples, because every understanding of another culture is an experiment with our own. ~ Roy Wagner
