week 11. phenomenology & ethnography

First :
 Things making Things: An Ethnography of the Impossible


What is ethnography ?
What is phenomenology?
How do they relate to design?


1.

Ethnographic vs Phenomenological Research Designs

2. Qualitative methodologies: ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory and more

3. very short introduction:

Notes on Ethnography and Design

4. Blomberg et al. 經典:
An Ethnographic Approach to Design

5. Ethnographic Data Analysis:
     http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~irene/l17-ethnography_analysis.pdf


Question:
1. how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to "cultural probes", how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to the study of design artifacts?

2. when to use ethnography? when to use phenomenology?
