Sensing, drawing and making sense : enlivening ethnographic fieldnotes

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’.
Keywords
