Anthropological Research Methods
1. To understand the relationship between the transformations undergone by anthropology throughout the second half of the 20th century and the methodological innovations which characterized that period;
2. To provide a forum for discussion and group debate by doctoral candidates about methodological issues suited to their specific research projects;
3. To establish contact with relevant contemporary examples of the renewal of methodological strategies with respect to different styles and uses of 'qualitative methods' in general;
4. To refine the ways through which, in doctoral candidates' project proposals, methodological steps are enunciated.
1. introduction to the UC: Programme and work proposal. Presentations by students and their projects.
2. Research in anthropology: epistemological and methodological issues in ethnographic experiences
3. From building the project to writing the thesis: methodological and ethical questions
4. Theoretical itineraries from postmodern critique to native anthropology: how to decolonise methodologies?
5. Collaborative research and participatory methods: interlocutions
6. Fieldwork under fire
7. Biographical approaches and auto-ethnography
8. Anthropology beyond the human
9. Multimodal anthropology, visual methods and digital platforms
10. Cyber-ethnography and digital ethnography
11 and 12 State of Play: Presentations of doctoral students' final essay proposals.
This semester is directed toward the elaboration of a final version of the 'Methodology' section in research proposals, which will be evaluated by the Department with a view toward the continuation of each doctoral student in the 2nd year.
a) oral presentation (15 min) of the 'Methodology' section of your project (40%)
b) semi-final written version of the same presentation, including in the discussion references to recent methodologies addressed in the UC (max. 8 pages) (60%)

Title: Nota:
Não pretendendo ser exaustiva, esta bibliografia suplementar procura: (a) alargar o campo de referências sobre metodologias etnográficas, sobretudo sobre histórias de vida biográficas e entrevistas, e (b) fornecer um leque mínimo de textos-chave, quer sobre as metodologias etnográficas ditas clássicas (p. ex. observação participante, entrevistas, estudos de caso aprofundados), quer em torno de algumas alterações metodológicas e teóricas influentes desde os anos 1980. Leituras e pesquisas subsequentes, em cada texto, resultam num efeito de tipo bola-de-neve: as práticas metodológicas etnográficas desdobram-se, e aparecem afinidades interdisciplinares com metodologias em áreas científicas afins (cf. o entrelaçar em diversos textos de Denzin e Lincoln de metodologias qualitativas na sociologia, na antropologia e, ainda, noutras ciências sociais). Deve-se, assim, considerá-la como um mero instrumento. Como referido encima ('Processo de Ensino-aprendizagem'), raros são os textos que não se encontrem pelo menos numa das três bibliotecas especializadas que nos são próximas no ISCTE-IUL e no ICS.
Note:
While the following bibliography should not be seen as definitive, it proposes: (a) to enlarge the field of references concerning ethnographic methodology, particularly on biographical life-histories and interviews, and (b) to provide a minimal list of key texts about classic ethnographic methodology (participant observation, interviews, extended case-studies, etc.), as well as about some influential shifts in methodology and theory since the 1980's. Further reading and research, in each title, usually results in a snow-ball effect: ethnographic methodological practices flow into others, revealing interdisciplinary affinities (such as, for example, the interweaving of qualitative sociological, anthropological, and other social-scientific methodological angles in various articles by Denzin and Lincoln). It should be considered simply as an instrument. As mentioned above ('Teaching Methodology'), the vast majority of these texts are available in one or another of our three specialized libraries in ISCTE-IUL or the ICS.

Ethnographic Research Projects: Work in Progress
1. To deal in detail with the empirical dimensions of doctoral candidates' research proposals in the light of key recent work published in anthropology within the domains chosen for analysis by the latter;
2. To heighten awareness by doctoral candidates of the need to update and incorporate within their projects some of the major tendencies towards reformulation and revision of anthropological theory during the last decade (for example: reflexive anthropology, practice theory, and ethical dilemmas);
3. To perfect the style of presentation of the final versions of the candidates' projects, in terms of the most coherent and convincing argumentation.
Preliminary analysis of the provisional versions of project proposals coming from the end of the 1st semester, with identification of problematic areas for refinement;
Discussion of major theoretical schools within contemporary anthropology: tendencies, movements, recent bibliography;
Presentation and detailed discussion of doctoral candidates' projects, distributed prior to each seminar.
This seminar is directed towards the elaboration of a final version of each project, to be evaluated with a view towards the continuation of each student in the 2nd year.
The project (about 15 pp.) will count for 60% of the final grade, the remaining 40% applying to seminar participation.
This course does not contemplate evaluation via a final exam.

Apart from the texts selected for focused discussion in seminars, included here is a brief general bibliography indicating a number of useful syntheses of major trends in anthropological theory, which may be supplemented by specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias. Clearly, any theoretical line, tendency, movement, or 'school' will possess its own past and present legacy (the latter, as well, in certain cases still in the process of formulation). Thus, these references are nothing more than signposts of a generalized nature. For example, a large array of references in anthropology and related social sciences (key titles in their own specific sub-fields) are not mentioned (i.e., in post-structuralism, post-modernism, post-colonialism, interpretive anthropology, the anthropology of globalization, etc.).
Obviamente, cada linha teórica, tendência, movimento ou 'escola' terá o seu próprio legado bibliográfico passado e presente (esta, também, em certos casos ainda em processo de formulação). Assim, estas referências não são mais do que indicações prévias de cunho generalista. Por exemplo, não inclui um grande leque de títulos que, na antropologia, e por vezes transversal a outras ciências sociais, constituem referências-chave em âmbitos específicos (cf., no pós-estruturalismo, pós-modernismo, pós-colonialismo, antropologia interpretativa, antropologia da globalização, etc.).
Independentemente dos textos escolhidos para as discussões especificas nos seminários, inclui-se aqui uma breve bibliografia de referência generalizada, indicadora de alguns dos textos que constituem sínteses úteis de algumas das grandes linhas da teoria antropológica, a serem complementados por dicionários e enciclopédias especializados.
