- 1民族誌（近距離描寫一個族群或文化怎麼生活的研究寫作。臺灣用「誌」；對岸簡體常作「民族志」。和「民族學」不同，那個較重比較。）
Ethnography is a careful written picture of how a group of people live. The researcher often spends a long time with them, joins daily life, and then what those lives mean to the people themselves — food, work, jokes, rules, silences. It is description first, close-up. Old dictionaries called it “the scientific description of different .” That “race” wording is a leftover from an older time. Modern ethnography is about peoples and cultures; “race” as a simple scientific box is something scholars now treat with great care, or reject. The word is academic. Though actually, people also stretch it: “an ethnography of the office” or of an online game — still a thick, on-the-ground picture, just not of a village.
組成From ethno- + -graphy. Ethno- from Ancient Greek ἔθνος (éthnos, people, nation); -graphy from Greek -γραφίᾱ (-graphíā, writing), via French -graphie. So: writing about a people.
