Definition(s)

  • Literally, this term means to “write down,” but its connotations in contemporary fieldwork are more profound and suggest that writing down what one sees and hears is not so simple or innocent an act. Clifford Geertz was among the first to challenge the idea that a fieldworker merely observes and records. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry; Inscription]
