Abstract

A response by Franziska Weidle to Jessamy Perriam's Ethnography, Objects and Reflexivity: A Case Study of the Selfie Stick

Review

This submission, titled "A response by Franziska Weidle," is clearly positioned as a direct engagement with an existing piece of scholarship. The abstract explicitly identifies the target of this response as Jessamy Perriam's "Ethnography, Objects and Reflexivity: A Case Study of the Selfie Stick." This situates Weidle's contribution within an ongoing academic dialogue, likely within fields such as anthropology, sociology, media studies, or material culture studies, given the specific subject matter of ethnography, objects, reflexivity, and the selfie stick. The title and abstract alone signal that this paper is not an original research piece presenting new findings, but rather an intervention aiming to interact with, critically assess, or further elaborate on the arguments and insights presented in Perriam's work. The value of such a response lies in its capacity to foster scholarly debate and refine understanding within a particular domain. Weidle's paper likely serves to offer an alternative perspective, challenge specific claims, provide additional evidence, or perhaps expand upon a particular theoretical or methodological point raised by Perriam. Engaging with "A Case Study of the Selfie Stick," the response is poised to contribute to the complex discussions surrounding the role of material culture in ethnographic inquiry, the challenges of reflexivity in research, and the sociological implications of everyday objects like the selfie stick. This type of intertextual engagement is crucial for the progression of knowledge, allowing for different viewpoints to be aired and for concepts to be rigorously tested and developed. While the precise nature of Weidle's response (e.g., whether it is supportive, critical, or clarificatory) remains undiscernible from the provided information, its very existence highlights the dynamic and iterative nature of academic discourse. Readers interested in Perriam's original work, or indeed in the broader themes of ethnography, material culture, and the social life of objects, will find this response an essential companion piece. It prompts a deeper consideration of the arguments presented in the initial study and encourages a more nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding the chosen subject matter and methodologies. Therefore, this paper is important for enriching the ongoing scholarly conversation on these specific topics.
