Ethnography is a methodology with more than one hundred years of history. It arose in the Western world as a particular form of knowledge about distant cultures (typically non-Western ones) which were impenetrable to analysis consisting only of fleeting contact or brief conversations. After having entered several disciplines of social sciences (anthropology, sociology and psychology), in recent times ethnography has become an important tool in political science as well (where it takes the name of political ethnography) as part of interpretive methodologies and research.

Abstract
Ethnography is a methodology with more than one hundred years of history. It arose in the Western world as a particular form of knowledge about distant cultures (typically non-Western ones) which were impenetrable to analysis consisting only of fleeting contact or brief conversations. After having entered several disciplines of social sciences (anthropology, sociology and psychology), in recent times ethnography has become an important tool in political science as well (where it takes the name of political ethnography) as part of interpretive methodologies and research.
