Notă biografică
Jessica Smartt Gullion, PhD (2002), Texas Woman’s University, is the Associate Dean of Research for the College of Arts and Sciences at that university. She has written extensively on ethnography, including Diffractive Ethnography (Routledge, 2018), and the forthcoming Doing Ethnography (Guilford).
Recenzii
"Jessica Smartt Gullion writes with conversational, reader-friendly prose about the craft and art of scholarly storytelling. She expertly demonstrates how to follow the essential rules of academic writing and how and when to break them. Dr. Gullion titles her work with 'ethnography,' but the pragmatic guidance in this book also applies to other genres of qualitative inquiry such as phenomenology, case study, grounded theory, and autoethnography. This is an essential resource for novice and veteran researchers to enhance their written documentation of fieldwork, and an ideal textbook for courses and workshops in scholarly composition." – Johnny Saldaña, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University, author of The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers (now in its fourth edition) and co-author of Qualitative Research: Analyzing Life (second edition)
"Ethnographic fields are contested territories and terrains because even as we ethnographers work and live in our fields, we carry them with us wherever we go—in our notes, memories, dreams, reveries, and bodies. We shuttle between here and there and here. We try to translate between the ethnographic moments when and where we saw, heard, felt and the ethnographic presents, when and where we are seeing, hearing, and feeling, presently. Many things are lost, but much newness is found in these temporal and geographical crossings. Ethnographic writing is nothing if not an unruly dance, an orchestral attempt to write in-between these crossings, an attempt to untangle, in text or performance, what was experienced, what is remembered, and what is to be written, in the ‘now.’ It is a kind of writing that is always answering what I believe are two questions that ethnographers like Jessica Smartt Gullion are committed to—how to tell this story? And how to tell it well? In Writing Ethnography, Gullion takes on the daunting task of how such a dance can be led and be led with care and rigor. I highly recommend this book to any student and practitioner of the ethnographic method. It is much needed and essential." – Devika Chawla, Professor of Communication Studies, Ohio University and editor-in-chief of Departures in Critical Qualitative Research
"Writing Ethnography is engaging and accessible, yet still grounded in solid scholarship—the essence of good public scholarship. Gullion makes the mysterious process of writing a lot less mysterious, and actually quite straightforward. She does this, in part, by sharing her own relationship with writing, including the banes of every writer—panic, writer’s block, and the academic’s desire to sound smart which often obscures the whole point of sharing the research. She also fills the book with concrete examples, suggested approaches, and practical advice. The new edition includes an expanded and extremely useful section on editing (the most disregarded phase of writing). A particular strength of the book is that Gullion speaks to the reader directly, creating a connection that functions much like a trusted friend. Her generous spirit spills off the page. She includes writing prompts that help the reader to make concrete connections to the points she is making. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Gullion emphasizes that all research, especially ethnography, is basically about telling stories that matter. After all, as Thomas King reminds us, the truth about stories is that’s all we are." – Rosemary C. Reilly, PhD, Full Professor in the Department of Applied Human Sciences, Concordia University, Montreal
"Jessica Smartt Gullion’s Writing Ethnography is a valuable resource not only in my dance ethnography classes, but also in my work with MA and PhD students at the thesis and dissertation writing stage. The book provides pithy guidance for graduate students and emerging scholars for transforming their data into prose that transports readers into the field sites, bringing research participants to life on the page. Writing Ethnography is a beautiful and accessible primer on how to ‘show, don’t tell,’ and produce polished, publishable work." – Rosemary Candelario, PhD, Associate Professor of Dance, Texas Woman’s University and co-editor of the forthcoming book Dance Research
