Holistic Ethnography
-studies the multidimensional and interdependent aspects of reality by focusing on the sensory, bodily, emotive, and dialogic aspects of phenomenon
-combines:
>narrative: stories you hear or people tell you
>intellect: mental interpretation of the culture
>heart felt interpretation

Arts-based approaches
Method Describes/understands communication as it relates to....
-Performance Studies: Culturally situated communicative acts to reflect an interpretation of cultural practice through human expression
-Ethnodrama and Ethnotheatre: Performing the researcher's and/or participant's experience
-Performative Writing & Poetic Ethnography: Writing in an aesthetic manner to turn text into an evocative artistic representation
-Documentary, Video, or Visual Ethnography: Using photographic and video images rather than, or in addition to, words, in order to represent an experience through image
Performance Studies
-re-creates texts through performance
-interprets aesthetics of text through performance
-performance can mean theatre, singing, writing, music, etc
-not only learn about yourself, but also worry about others
Ethnodrama & Ethnotheatre
1. ethnodrama
-the presentations of data in staged performance (plot, characters, dialogue, stage movements)
-script derived from researchers data (just a script)
2. ethnotheatre
-the performance of the researchers experience (actual performance of that script)
-if you're going to perform an ethnodrama you can turn it into an ethnotheatre
Performative Writing
-data written in a manner that is meant to be read aloud or performed
-goal is to create an aesthetic account that is supposed to depict the nuances/rituals that are indicative to the group you are studying
*not necessarily a script
