| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This Afterword pulls together the articles featured in this special section by commenting on the shared, though sometimes tacit, ethnographic methodology used by each. Ethnographic methodologies tend to rely on intimate research techniques that have been developed to lend a sense of specificity and veracity to reported subject matter involving human experience. This kind of research provides an important contribution to disciplines that have not traditionally used it. Yet at the same time, ethnographic research in all disciplines tends to preserve a shortcoming. Ethnographically inclined researchers have difficulty considering and writing about the very intimacy that elicits ethnography itself. Perhaps attending to what some anthropologists call ‘coevalness’ in the research process could help to foreground the shared and very intimate acts of meaning-making involved and assist in theorizing intimacy as a concept. |
