The article presents the idea of personal ethnography, i.e. the anthropologists’ individual experiences that include practical, existential, and emotional dimensions of ethnographic field research. Such experiences and their details are largely absent in scientific papers, due to their apparent irrelevance for research results. Nevertheless, they form an indispensable part of ethnographic research, influencing its scientific findings. This article not only emphasizes the need to include this aspect of ethnographic research in the methodological reflection, but also points out the differences and similarities between personal ethnography and autoethnography, following the main threads of personal experiences from fieldwork.

This article aims at describing the role of Yayasan Karya Cipta Indonesia (YKCI) in copyright protection in Indonesia and the mechanism of royalty payment on Indonesian songs to the YKCI. The approach used in this study is normative approach as this study is conducted on secondary, primary, and tertiary legal materials, such as books, legal journals, and expert (secondary data) research results; its main legislation is Law no. 19 of 2002 on Copyright (primary data); English and Indonesia dictionaries and tertiary law which is the result of library research, supported by legal materials in the form of documents from field research results. From the collected legal materials, analysis in the method of the qualitative descriptive was conducted. The results indicated that YKCI's role as an administrator body in copyright protection is to collect royalties from parties that use songs or music commercially and help dispute resolution between creators, users or record producers of songs or music creations. Furthermore, the mechanism of royalty payments to YKCI shall be initiated by the authorization of YKCI by the creator or the copyright holder of the song, so on the basis of such power of attorney, YKCI exercises the collection or withdrawal of royalties by a percentage mechanism from the dealer's selling price through a permit saving per song at a rate for recording into a cassette, CD, VCD, and other media. Law Number 19 of 2002 on Copyright should be accompanied by the willingness and ability of the apparatus in enforcing it so that what to be achieved with the Act can be obtained. In addition, it is recommended that the government immediately issue provisions on the roles, duties and functions of the Copyright Council as well as the organic rules that explain the authority of YKCI which may be the appointment of the Director-General of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) as endorsement of a collective society in order to attract royalties. The government also needs to make a standard contract of licensing agreement between the Copyright of Songs and Music in the event of announcement. In addition, YKCI also needs to be open including to the power of attorney (Creator of the song) so that the Creator can know the frequency of their song announcement and the large royalty that must be obtained.

The mid-term review is a necessary window for the PPP project to move forward objectively, and it is also a tool to adjust the expected goals of all parties to the project. This paper built a mid-term review system for PPP projects based on the whole-of-life cycle, studied the objectives, content and evaluation procedures of the mid-term review of PPP projects, and took the urban and rural water supply and drainage integrated PPP project in Mianzhu city, Sichuan Province as the case for field research and interviews, to verify the feasibility of the review system. The research results have a certain guiding role for the mid-term review of PPP projects.


This chapter considers some of the essential features of ethnography as a qualitative method. The main theoretical foundations of ethnographic approach are explained; however, the emphasis is mainly on how ethnography is done. Thus, the techniques for collecting data used by ethnographers take the central part of this chapter with some special attention to the methodology of observation. Through many examples, the authors describe the various forms of observation as a social research method. It is useful to illustrate the approach of the ethnographer through the metaphor of the “stranger” because “reflexivity” is an important part of the qualitative approach of ethnography. The practicalities of recording the field research and writing memos are fully considered in conjunction with practical suggestions and conceptual discussion, including the writing up of the final text which should be the conclusion of a consequential process, rather than a separate entity.

PurposeArgued is the need for: (1) a clearer interpretation of procedural ethics guidelines; (2) the identification and development of ethical field case study models which can be incorporated into university ethics teaching; (3) an understanding of the vulnerabilities of researchers and participants as reflected in the researchers' positionality and reflexivity and (4) ethnographic monitoring as a participant-friendly and participatory ethics methodology.Design/methodology/approachThis article, drawn from the author's four-decade trajectory of collective ethnographic research, addresses the ethical challenges and dilemmas encountered by researchers when conducting ethnographic research, particularly with vulnerable migrant women and youth.FindingsThe author addresses dilemmas in field research resulting from different interpretations of ethics and emphasizes the need for researchers to be critically aware of their own vulnerabilities and those of migrants to avoid unethical practices in validating the context(s), language(s), culture and political landscape of their study.Research limitations/implicationsThe author presents case studies from the US and the Netherlands, underlining her positionality and reflexivity and revisits Dell Hymes' ethnographic monitoring approach as a participant-friendly, bottom-up methodology which enables researchers to co-construct knowledge with participants and leads to participatory ethics.Practical implicationsShe presents case studies from the US and the Netherlands underlining her positionality and reflexivity and revisits Dell Hymes’ ethnographic monitoring approach as a participant-friendly, bottom up methodology which enables researchers to co-construct knowledge with participants and engage in participatory ethics.Social implicationsFinally, she proposes guidelines for the ethical conduct of research with migrant populations that contribute to the broader methodological debates currently taking place in qualitative migration research.Originality/valueExpected from this reading is the legacy that as a qualitative migration researcher one can after 4 decades of research leave behind as caveats and considerations in working with vulnerable migrants and the ethical dilemmas and challenges that need to be overcome.

In this article we engage the nature and role of the Internet in ethnographic research and reflect on how ethnographic methodologies may be adapted when researching digital forms of communication. We further consider how recent shifts in both the production and dissemination of textual discourse in networked media environments complicates conventional approaches to digital ethnography. Drawing on examples from our field research, our principal objective is to apply a Foucauldian structural perspective to David Altheide’s ethnographic content analysis to better contextualize the study of digital communiqué in a cultural moment where discourses are increasingly surveilled, modified, censored and weaponized.

The evaluation of current and potential traffic signs is necessary in order to ensure that the signs are effective. Laboratory studies are an important first step in evaluating current and potential traffic signs in order to minimize the risk and expense associated with field research. This paper describes the application of multidimensional scaling to traffic signs, a method that appears to be well suited for determining perceived traffic sign dimensions. In two studies subjects judged the similarity of all possible pairs of 16 traffic signs. Three interpretable dimensions were found. These dimensions, in order of extraction, were color/content, message form (pictorial vs. verbal), and shape. The validity of this research technique and the limitations of these research results are discussed.

O presente trabalho tem o intuito de relatar minha experiência etnográfica junto à comunidade Honmon Butsuryu-shu (HBS), uma importante corrente do Budismo japonês e a primeira a alcançar as terras tupiniquins, através do sacerdote Ibaragui. O artigo é uma síntese da minha pesquisa de campo, realizada em maio de 2014, na qual, juntamente com uma caravana brasileira e japonesa, composta por sacerdotes e fiéis, pude acompanhar o chamado Caminho Primordial do Budismo, passando por diversos templos no Japão e pelas cidades sagradas da religião, na Índia e no Nepal (local do surgimento do Budismo). No contexto desta pesquisa etnográfica, fiz uso do método de observação, do registro de narrativas e, principalmente, de imagens fotográficas.
