From 1975 to 1979, David Morley took part in the study of contemporary media culture research, regarded the popularity TV show "nationwide" which discuss current affairs news as the research object and obtained a series of important results.

research styles rooted in the social sciences, primarily the use of ethnography and narrative inquiry methods, or some combination of them. Ethnography is the holistic study of people, races, and cultures, as a basis to collect data and information for their work. Data can be obtained from interactions, interviews, journals, field notes, and other observations within the social group being studied (from the participant perspective, also called emic), and from the outside the group (from the observer’s
INTRODUCTION Originally defined by I.A. Efremov in 1940, taphonomy can be described as, “the study of the transition (in all its details) of animal remains from the biosphere into the lithosphere” (Lyman, 2010:2). In the original definition of taphonomy, only animal remains were included, while later the term evolved to include faunal, human and material remains. Zooarchaeologists, specifically, adopted the term to determine whether modified bones represented evidence of prehistoric tools (Lyman

Jameson’s insight into the close connection between readers and writers predated Radway’s ethnographic work, but its ripples took almost a decade to hit the shoreline.

slowly made its increase in the number of dog parks and popularity over the last decade. As a dog owner myself, I decided to settle upon dog parks as my field of research. The amount of human/dog interaction I would get and the geography of a dog park, this made dog parks the perfect field research site to learn the culture of Dog Parks. My ethnographic method of data collection will disclose the culture of dog parks and the relationship between the owner and their dogs. Using unobtrusive measure to
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS I draw on ethnographic data collected during thirteen months of participant observation at a West Coast affiliate office of Successful Women’s Outfitters, which I call SWO-WC. During my time at SWO-WC I observed interactions between staff, volunteers, and low-income clients during 132 (pre-interview) first suiting appointments and 9 (post job-offer) second suiting appointments. In addition to time spent solely observing suiting appointments, I also served for seven months
is almost non-existing in migration scholarship. While the majority of ethnographic research on migrant women has an intersectional understanding of one’s experience, studying how gender, race, ethnicity class, religion or migrantness shape these experiences to some extent, the word intersectionality was almost never mentioned explicitly. One simple reason might be that intersectionality, understood as a concept of gender studies, has never been fully incorporated to migration scholarship. Another
