On fieldwork: "Blogging sharpens the attention"

by lorenz on Jan 17, 2006 in Open Access Anthropology and Knowledge Sharing, fieldwork / methods, internet

Cicilie Fagerlid provides a nice explanation on why she has started blogging while she's on fieldwork. Her working title for her research is Communities in the making: Identity and belonging in postcolonial Paris and London.

After I started I have noticed that blogging sharpens the attention, just like taking a lot of photos (and probably painting) does; One starts to see motifs everywhere, and then one has to reflect on how to make the motif into a story so other people can understand what you want to tell them.
