Introduction: These terms describe different genres or styles within ethnographic writing, reflecting evolving ideas about objectivity, subjectivity, power, and the purpose of cultural description.
Information Booster:
· Ethnographic Realism : The classic, "objective" style where the ethnographer writes as an invisible, authoritative observer, presenting the culture as a stable, coherent fact. The researcher's presence is erased .
· Confessional Ethnography : A reaction to the above, where the ethnographer makes their personal experiences, dilemmas, and fieldwork process central to the narrative, acknowledging their subjective role.
· Critical Ethnography: Goes beyond description to explicitly analyze power structures, inequality, and oppression within the studied culture, framing it within broader political and economic contexts.
· Autoethnography: Blurs the line between researcher and subject. The primary focus is the ethnographer's own personal experience and culture as the data source for cultural analysis.
