Isi artikel

Colin Jerolmack and Shamus Khan (hereafter JK) advance a provocative argument for the importance, even primacy, of ethnography as a method for the study of culture in action. Their argument has two dimensions—a positive case for ethnography and a negative case against “verbal” methods (including surveys). Given space limitations, I am willing to cede JK’s positive case and agree that ethnographies have some special advantages. But their negative case against surveys is seriously flawed because it rests on a mischaracterization of relevant empirical research and an unnecessary conflation of theoretical and methodological commitments.
