Presentation

Research in the social sciences on “China” and topics related to this vast object of study confront scholars with numerous practical difficulties, little discussed in the dedicated literature and in the methodological courses.

This monthly webinar proposes to address recent debates on epistemological and methodological tools, and to examine them in the light of empirical field experiences. Through historical, sociological and anthropological investigations, the aim will be to identify concrete issues and propose critical approaches to reflect on them.

In this perspective, each session will be dedicated to one specific topic such as fieldwork failures; language issues; digital ethnography; fieldwork under surveillance; archival research; collective field enquiry; etc. Drawing on case studies presented by PhD students, scholars and professors who have conducted fieldwork in China, we will raise issues of methodology and ethics through collective reflexivity.
