Conclusion: Forms, Functions and the Ethnographic Challenge

Abstract

In this concluding chapter we want to offer some further reflections on two aspects of the project: the central themes it addressed and the research methodologies. The first part, therefore, will return to questions and theories posed in the introductory chapter, and trace how these have been addressed through the book. The second section will explore the diversity of methodologies employed and the relationship between them, focusing on the question of ethnography in particular.
