Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the figure of the flâneur and sets out to explore how the practice of flânerie might offer social researchers a different way of engaging with digital worlds. It is articulated around two main interests: the relationship of the flâneur to digital worlds and the theoretical and methodological implications of envisioning the practice of flânerie as a way of engaging with digital worlds. This paper contends that flânerie could inform and creatively enrich our practices as social researchers in two ways: enabling us to approach differently the exploration of digital worlds and leading us to investigate phenomena that might have remained concealed through more conventional methodologies. Flânerie, we argue, offers the possibility of a more open and explorative approach to digital research. Our paper outlines implications of positioning flânerie as a methodological practice and reflects on potential of flânerie in the exploration of digital worlds.

Flânerie作为数字世界中探索性再搜索的方法论实践

摘要本文关注的是外籍人士的形象，并试图探索外籍人士的实践如何为社会研究人员提供一种不同的参与数字世界的方式。它围绕两个主要兴趣进行阐述：外语与数字世界的关系，以及将外语实践视为参与数字世界的一种方式的理论和方法意义。本文认为，flânerie可以通过两种方式为我们作为社会研究人员的实践提供信息并创造性地丰富我们的实践：使我们能够以不同的方式探索数字世界，并引导我们调查可能通过更传统的方法隐藏的现象。我们认为，Flânerie为数字研究提供了一种更开放、更具探索性的方法。我们的论文概述了将外语定位为一种方法论实践的含义，并反思了外语在探索数字世界中的潜力。

期刊介绍： Culture and Organization was founded in 1995 as Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies . It represents the intersection of academic disciplines that have developed distinct qualitative, empirical and theoretical vocabularies to research organization, culture and related social phenomena. Culture and Organization features refereed articles that offer innovative insights and provoke discussion. It particularly offers papers which employ ethnographic, critical and interpretive approaches, as practised in such disciplines as organizational, communication, media and cultural studies, which go beyond description and use data to advance theoretical reflection. The Journal also presents papers which advance our conceptual understanding of organizational phenomena.
