Notes From The Field: Is My Fieldwork Compromised If I Don’t Have a Car in Los Angeles?

Author: Nathalie Boucher (Institut national de la recherche scientifique,Centre Urbanisation, Culture et Société, Canada)

Abstract

In order to explore the implications of doing fieldwork in one of the biggest city in United States, this article offers a digression on Los Angeles’ daily lives. The objective is to understand which lifestyle a student in urban anthropology starting fieldwork should choose so as to make the best of participant-observation, an ethnographic methodology developed in rather different contexts.
