The Potential of Ethnomethodological Ethnography in Human-Computer Interaction Research
Ethnography has been widely used in the humanities and social sciences,especially in anthropology,sociology and communication studies.In the past half century,ethnography has become an important approach in the field of human-computer interaction(HCI)research in the western context,resulting in many studies from this interdisciplinary perspective.However,the Chinese academic community has few discussions and applications in this field.In view of this,this article aims to introduce the use of"video-based ethnography"(or ethnome-thodological ethnography)in HCI research.This article will explore the subtle nuances and inherent commonalities between traditional ethnography and ethnomethodological ethnography.Then this article will review the classic studies of video-based ethnography in HCI over the past half century.At the same time,based on the author's own empirical materials in HCI collected in China,this article will elaborate how video-based ethnography provides unique values and novelty for HCI research in terms of sequentiality,embodiment and hidden labor.In so doing,this article aims to discuss the potential of ethnomethodological ethnography in exploring local HCI issues in China.
