Evidence

Since we have been both praised for our ethnographic approach (in the related CCCS project Resistance Through Rituals [ RTR ] ) 4 and criticized for its absence in PTC (in the last chapter particularly), 5 it seems useful to add something on our relationship to ethnography because, for us, RTR and PTC are two sides of the same coin and neither is a conventional ethnography. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 1043
