A little bit of history Developments in Ethnography
In the field one has to face a chaos of facts, some of which are so small that they seem insignificant; others loom so large that they are hard to encompass with one synthetic glance. But in this crude form they are not scientific facts at all; they are absolutely elusive, and can be fixed only by interpretation (Bronislaw Malinowski, Baloma (1954), 238.

Analysis: grounded theorizing or design driven
18http://www.methods.manchester.ac.uk/methods/groundedtheory/index.shtml
Crucial questions• Should I take an overt or covert role in the field? • How much should my prior reading and analysis dictate the
field study? • How long should or can I remain in the field? • What is the effect of my presence on results and can I
intervene in situations? • Should I take photographs or film in the field? • Can I use cultural probes to get users to gather their own
evidence?
17
Conclusion• Ethnography has its own history of developments
• Applied ethnography represents a practical application
• There is a critical discussion between applied and traditional approaches
• The application into design puts an emphasis on stories and people's own perceptions
