Workshop I
TRANSPOSING TRANSCRIPTION IN PRACTICE
Cassandra Hartblay
In this workshop, we will play a game of hermeneutic telephone, perpending the ways that meaning, performance, and interpretation shift through the form of recording: handwritten notes, audio recording, transcription of audio recording, performance of transcribed text, and permutations in-between and beyond. We will also investigate the ways that styles and practices of transcription – traditional social science notations, linguistic notations, ethnopoetic transcription, or performance script style transcription – each open different potential interpretations of a transcribed text – and the possibilities for its potential lives. Please come prepared with a notebook and pen, laptop, and device for audio recording.
Please bring a handheld device that functions as a digital recorder, a notebook and pen, and a laptop.
Optional readings (as linked PDFs): Manual_on_transcription; Turner and Turner “Performing Ethnography”; Annie Baker “The Aliens” Frontmatter & Scene 1; Example Ethnopoetic Transcription

Workshop II
SCORES FOR ENCOUNTERS
Yelena Gluzman, Christina Aushana, Sal Zárate
This session is about creating scores — prompts for interaction — for future Encounters. In our previous workshops, we explored various methods of encountering people, ideas, texts, and sensory experience. In this session, we will begin with a short discussion of some insights and hopes that arose from these previous workshops, including ways to choreograph hallway interactions, ways to include interlocutors who will not be present, and ways to make visible and actionable some of the usually-tacit premises of ethnographic encounters. The central question of this session is how to incorporate such aims into the overarching activities and structures of the upcoming Ethnography and Design conference. We will break out into working groups to explore and pilot concrete methods that could be deployed for the conference.
4:45-5:00pm
