Fra feltnotater til etnografisk tegneserie : metodologiske refleksjoner

This article is about how to overcome challenges that relate to both method and the methodological by creating a comic strip. The comic strip is based on ethnographic field notes collected during anthropological fieldwork. The point of departure for this article is that sometimes fieldnotes are not enough, when you are in a process of reflecting and analysing your observation that have been converted to text. This article attempts to show how the visual and textual take new forms when these are in the shape of a comic, and how these can be used in new ways when interpreting and analysing your data and work as a supplement to fieldnotes. There have already been written several articles on this topic, by researchers who master the art of drawing and painting, however this article shows that these visual and creative processes can also be of use to us researchers who cannot draw.
