Students must attend at least 2/3 of the sessions. |
| Directed discussion |
Comment and discussion during the second part of each session of textual materials -scientific papers, book chapters, concerning the details, problems and practical application of different techniques with ethnographic research utility. The objective of the discussion will be the development by students of a critical capacity and awareness of cultural diversity and the recognition of the complexity of socio-cultural problems and the need to adapt the tools of ethnographic research to specific case studies . |
| Supervised projects |
It is conceived as a practical test that will be conducted over the course. It will consist of course work developed by practicing or multisituated participant observation, semi-structured interviews, analysis of a case of popular narrative, and / or testing the registration and 'technical' interpretation of a life story. Its objective is the development, by students, of knowledges and skills in basic projection of ethnographic research, in the use of fieldwork techniques, and exercises on the ground in critically evaluate the knowledge, techniques and information available to solve problems with which they must deal. |
