GENERAL FACTS
Ethnographic Project
PROCEDURE
TO DETERMINE WHO TO CHOOSE AS MY SUBJECT
A. LOOK FOR SOMEONE AROUND MY LIFE WHO HAS INFLUENCED THE WAY I THINK VIA LANGUAGES: OF COURSE THE COURSE NAME WAS LANGUAGE AND CULTURE B. CONFUSED DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE INTERMINGGLED WITH MY SUBJECT COULD AFFECT THE WHOLE PROCESS C. BUT FINALLY CHOSE MY OWN MOM AS MY ETHNOGRAPHIC SUBJECT EVEN IF IT WAS RATHER RISKY CHOOSING HER
INTERVIEW ARRANGEMENTS: TWO METHODS A. PHONE CONTACT: There were several attempts to reach my mom through phone calls. I
arranged the first confrontation at her place.
B. MEETING IN PERSON: I came in close contact with her in person. This sort of confrontation
wasnt actually intended to process the interview but focused on how caring I was about the project.
FAILURES (IMPORTANT) A. Frequently I realized that I was trying to extract what I needed to complete my project. I was in hurry and obsessed with getting sources from her by giving her constant questionnaires. Unfortunately it turned out to be great failure. B. The intention was corrupted by wrong pursuit toward the outcome. The purpose-oriented methodology was totally misled. CORRECTION AND FEEDBACKS A. The lecturer guided me effectively even if I was leading myself to the wrong way. B. As mentioned earlier, my misguided intent couldve hurt not only my project itself but my moms emotion. SEEKING OUT THE BETTER WAY OR THE MORE COMFORTABLE WAY My subject and I took leisure time by joining a couple of cooking activities together. In that way she began to provide me with very essential elements regarding the secondary theme of my project which was based on the examination of close relationship between the language and its power to carve ones personality or identity. I started with these two words.
