El artículo aborda la propuesta narrativa etnográfica del Extended Case Method (Método de Caso Extendido) desarrollada por Max Gluckman. Tras discutir los lineamientos teóricos de esta propuesta, presento un ejemplo de su aplicación en el valle de Azapa (Arica, Chile). Para ello, describiré el contexto y desarrollaré la narración extensa de una jornada vivida en este valle, recuperando los encuentros con cinco actores sociales que allí habitan. Finalizo identificando los nudos analíticos que emergen de la jornada, discutiendo las configuraciones locales de las fronteras identitarias.

College Preparation Program

This article describes how the extended case method, a tool of critical qualitative inquiry rooted in ethnography, can be used to inform policy research. Using examples drawn from a yearlong ethnographic study of a college preparation program, it demonstrates the utility of the extended case method for policy research through a discussion of literature on educational policy and qualitative research methods. It then uses study findings to show how the extended case method can address challenges related to context and meaning in policy evaluation focused on causal relationships. Implications for future qualitative policy work are also offered.

Comparative Ethnography

The social sciences have seen a substantial increase in comparative and multisited ethnographic projects over the last three decades, yet field research often remains associated with small-scale, in-depth, and singular case studies. The growth of comparative ethnography underscores the need to carefully consider the process, logics, and consequences of comparison. This need is intensified by the fact that ethnography has long encompassed a wide range of traditions with different approaches toward comparative social science. At present, researchers seeking to design comparative field projects have many studies to emulate but few scholarly works detailing the process of comparison in divergent ethnographic approaches. Beyond the Case addresses this by showing how practitioners in contemporary iterations of traditions such as phenomenology, the extended case method, grounded theory, positivism, and interpretivism approach this in their works. It connects the long history of comparative (and anti-comparative) ethnographic approaches to their contemporary uses. Each chapter allows influential scholars to 1) unpack the methodological logics that shape how they use comparison; 2) connect these precepts to the concrete techniques they employ; and 3) articulate the utility of their approach. By honing in on how ethnographers render sites or cases analytically commensurable and comparable, these contributions offer a new lens for examining the assumptions, payoffs, and potential drawbacks of different forms of comparative ethnography. Beyond the Case provides a resource that allows both new and experienced ethnographers to critically evaluate the intellectual merits of various approaches and to strengthen their own research in the process.

Las Mujeres

Analizamos los relatos de 30 mujeres paraguayas sobre sus experiencias de violencia entre Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) y Foz de Iguazú (Brasil). El objetivo es caracterizar multidimensionalmente estas experiencias y su impacto en la presencia femenina en el espacio público. Presentaremos los debates teóricos sobre el concepto de violencia, estableciendo sus vinculaciones con los mandatos de género y con los territorios fronterizos latinoamericanos. Luego, definiremos la metodología de la investigación, desarrollada a partir del Extended Case Method y de la etnografía multisituada y caracterizaremos el perfil de las entrevistadas. Los apartados cuatro, cinco y seis constituyen la aportación original del artículo: adentran al análisis de los relatos de las mujeres sobre la violencia en Ciudad del Este, en el cruce fronterizo y en Foz de Iguazú. Finalizamos presentando los hallazgos del estudio, mostrando que las estrategias de movilidad femeninas se estructuran a partir del imperativo de sortear las experiencias violentas.

Extended Case Method

This book addresses the relationships between stratification and social mobilities in Argentina today, using an ethnographic study on class relations in the San Telmo neighborhood (located in the country’s capital, Buenos Aires). Relying on the extended case method, we narrate Ramiro’s life history. He is a worker who has lived in the neighborhood for forty years, striving to carve out his career through a network of micro- and macrosocial relationships that frame his daily conflicts. We start by synthesizing the debates on class internationally and in Argentina, establishing the study’s initial theoretical frameworks, and describing the methodology used. We then reconstruct Ramiro’s life, starting from his experiences in his home province of Tucumán and narrating his migration to and arrival in Buenos Aires, his settling in San Telmo, his labor insertion, and the class conflicts that he currently experiences. We conclude by presenting a tentative anthropological conceptualization of class.
