1 RESEARCH DESIGN Defining the problem and the objectives of the investigation • It helps all parricipants to understand the questions and the importance that the research can have when making decisions for the final design. • It helps to define the information and necesary by-products to efficiently comunicate both the investigation and conclusions to the client. PP Task program
RESEARCH DESIGN Determination ámbito and muster. • Who are the persons who can shed more light on the questions? • Is that someones who uses certain products or who acts in certain ways? • Is it someone who provokes changes or impacts on the way that others act? • Are they personss who live in a given environment, the culture or the geophic location? of Spheres relation Active user Pasive user Constructing user Service user

3 THE ETHNOGRAPHIC INTERVIEW Triangulation of information • Informant: How to select an informant, how many are to use and to what purpose • The problem with lack of precision of the informants • Planification and execution of theinterview: protocol, polling, contextualization and transcription.

QUALITATIVE VS. QUANTITATIVE • The researcher studies the behavior of men from the outside. He introduces himself on some ocassions into the scenary that he pretends to define and explain • He observes his subject of study in a controlled way • He thinks that through the control of the contaminating variables he does not provoca reactive effects among the subjects under observation. • He thinks that he can generalise other similar contexts • The researcher intents to understand the human behavior immerso in the place where it develops and interacts. • He observes activeley its subject of studies • He is aware that his presence provokes reactiv effects among the subjects under observation. • He thinks that the only existing generalisation is that no generalización exists
The image can represent a thousand words with infinite meanings • The development or research methods in marketingthat go through the anthropological look: to observe, understand and decode in order to understand human behaviors in his habitat • Transcription of an ethnographic observation into a discourse expressed in images and sound: fotos, video, movies; instead of the written text, visual narrative is used VISUAL ETHNOGRAPHY 25
VISUAL ETHNOGRAPHY QUALITATIVE • Visual ethnography ilustres what has been researched and documented by the anthropologist and the visual production of the anthropologic kind It is the intervention de un no antropólogo experto en la técnica de grabación y filmación que registra los fenómenos sociales • Actualmente hay una gran cantidad de etnografías digitales que se publican en CD-ROM o distribuidas a través de la web; algunos ejemplos que podemos encontrar son: “El Pulque”, trabajo realizado por Scott S. Robinson (http://antropologíavisual.net)
