Week 5

I have done some observations at the field-site of my subculture. I've also researched some online. I'm having difficulty figuring out where I want to go with my ethnography, however. I don't really know what central idea I want to focus on, or what I really want to share about the subculture. This is making research really difficult too. It's not like there are tons of blogs and other sites about Fossil stores, so I need to broaden my research. I don't really know what I want to broaden it to, though. I was hoping to already have interviewed most of the members of the subculture, but couldn't come up with good questions. I thought that after observing the field-site, I would be more clear on what I wanted to ask and where I wanted to take the ethnography. That wasn't the case. Interviews are deffinitely going to play a major role in my ethnography, so I want to get those done as soon as possible, but I also want them to be informative and useful. I also need to get the interviews done and ready for the anotated bibliography, which is coming up soon.
