Engaged Ethnography Under Communist Rule: Sociology, Solidarity, and Poland

In: Problems of post-communism, Band 60, Heft 4, S. 28-34

Abstract

Fieldwork in 1980s Poland led to the later realization that engaged ethnography -- study of the vernacular to clarify the interactions of power, justice, and normative goods -- may be a less distinctive method under communist rule. It was also more possible before the digital revolution. Adapted from the source document.
