Flash ethnography: Dispatches from the field
本文以闪电民族志这一极简格式，通过三篇自传式田野快报，展示观察、内省与偶然性如何影响洞察，并探讨强烈情绪在田野工作中的作用，旨在将这一方法从人类学推广至营销与消费者研究领域。
This article presents three exercises in autoethnographic engagement. They are written in the genre of flash ethnography, a format of extreme concision characterized by evocative immediacy, unitary wholeness and reflective challenge. The dispatches address the primacy of observation, the importance of introspection, and the impact of serendipity on insight. They also consider the role of powerful emotions – renewal, vulnerability, ambivalence, anger, fear, defiance – in field work. The article is written to encourage the diffusion of flash ethnography from its home discipline in anthropology to the fields of marketing and consumer research.
