Beyond Urban Sketching: Ethnographic Drawing as a Visual Analytical Method
Författare
Summary, in Swedish
starting point. Through active participation as an urban sketcher through digital publishing,
dialogue and interaction, I analyze my analytical process and urban sketching practice. The
aim is to examine ethnographic drawing as a visual cultural analytical method. My contribution
is based the connection between urban ideals and innovative, creative environments in a
local context. An overall knowledge goal is to develop visual methods and perspectives in the
borderland between cultural analysis, artistic research, and new academic formats. Sketching
and drawing can be compared to written ethnographic notes made during fieldwork or observation.
The relationship between drawing and taking notes can be regarded as a dialogue, an
ongoing conversation in which the importance of adopting a new vision is more important than
the competence to draw.
