Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Ethnography and walking are closely linked: In walking, we discover research topics, implement participant observation and sometimes communicate our results. The development of a variety of perspectives is one of the most important potentials of walking research. The seminar deals with the connection between ethnographic research and walking on three levels: 1. We get to know the texts on walking from the beginnings until today. 2. We will analyse how ethnography and walking are linked in the individual methodological texts. 3. We will practise the different approaches ourselves.
