- Abstract
- Written ethnographic field notes may fall short of describing the complexity and subtlety of human interaction and experience when exploring intimacy and pleasure. In the frame of a feminist research project that investigates women's 'unruly' intimacy as they age, I used drawings as part of my field notes to enrich and diversify the material collected. This essay focuses on a selection of drawings to explore the potential of this medium as a living practice that can ‘look along’ instead of just ‘looking at’.
