Abstract

Aim. The aim is to depict specificy of fieldnotes as a first result of research experience are standing between perception which obviously has to be personal (even if it's based on non-individual experience) and text which main feature is to be intersubjectively understandable.
 Method. The study is based on experience of conducting collaborative fieldwork and writing common fieldnotes. Paper itself is also an example of collaborative work - written together is an opportunity to share theoretical perspective on team research grounded in fieldwork experience in process.
 Resullt and Conclusions. Fieldnotes as a part of fieldwork process are first step of translation from subjective experience to objective knowledge. In the case of collaborative writing, unlike in the case of report where the final research result is presented which can have the form of general, conclusion, fieldnotes are much more dynamic – become domain of negotiation revealing crucial points of collective fieldwork experience.

Highlights

  • A few years ago, we made ethnographic research on public space dedicated to student’s use at the main campus at the University of Warsaw

  • The study is based on the experience of conducting collaborative Àeldwork and writing common Àeldnotes

  • The paper itself is an example of collaborative work - written together, it is an opportunity to share theoretical perspectives on team research grounded in Àeldwork experience in the process

Summary

Result

Fieldwork knowledge based on team research is created in twofold relation: towards the Àeld itself and towards another researcher. It is not collecting data and confronting it with data collected by others, but it is a process of shaping pretextual knowledge and, in the step, framing it into intersubjectively communicative form. In the case of collaborative writing, unlike that of a report, in which the Ànal research result may be presented in the form of general conclusion, Àeldnotes are much more dynamic, becoming a domain of negotiation and revealing crucial points of the collective Àeldwork experience
