Abstract

This paper presents a theoretically influenced discussion of methodological issues in carrying out ethnographic work at Peartree Academy. Food is central to our sense of identity. It draws on notions of the school restaurant and presents an account of the complexities surrounding the disorderliness of fieldwork in researching children’s food space. The aim of this paper is to explore how researcher identity needs to be considered within the relationship between discipline and social learning spaces for eating. Foucault’s concept of discipline is introduced in conceptualising the study. Key reflections place emphasis on the messiness of researching such spaces and offer recommendations for navigation.

摘要

本文介绍了在Peartree 学院开展民族志工作的方法论问题的理论影响讨论。食物是我们认同感的核心。它借鉴了学校餐厅的概念，并介绍了围绕研究儿童食物空间的田野工作的无序性的复杂性。本文的目的是探讨如何在学科和社会学习空间之间的关系中考虑研究人员的身份。福柯的纪律概念是在概念化研究中引入的。主要反思将重点放在研究此类空间的混乱上，并为导航提供建议。
