Abstract

This short paper explores the practice of putting Polaroid photographs into field notebooks. It draws on the ethnographic research and collaborative photography associated with my PhD on the everyday lives of young Black people in West London. I begin by describing how and why I put Polaroids into my A6 sized field notebooks in an attempt to think harder about how these lives might be represented. Then, looking to encourage other geographers to consider using Polaroids in this way, I discuss how traditional approaches to field notetaking can be replaced by something more collaborative. Doing so, I contend, can help you to engage productively with those involved in your studies as you take and talk about photos together.

现场笔记和宝丽来照片:与伦敦西部的黑人生活打交道
这篇短文探讨了将宝丽来照片放入田野笔记本的做法。它借鉴了我的博士论文中关于伦敦西部黑人青年日常生活的人种学研究和合作摄影。我首先描述了我如何以及为何将拍立得照片放入我的 A6 大小的田野笔记本中,试图更深入地思考如何表现这些生活。然后,为了鼓励其他地理学家考虑以这种方式使用宝丽来照片,我讨论了如何用更具协作性的方法取代传统的田野记录方法。我认为,这样做可以帮助你与那些参与你研究的人进行富有成效的合作,因为你们可以一起拍摄和讨论照片。
