The Somatic Dimension of the Study of Autism. The Thing About Field Notes

Summary/Abstract: Writing field notes is a vital part of participant observation necessary to gain insight into specific social situations and cultural phenomena. The procedure of data recording seems deceptively straightforward, but is indeed a complex process conditioned by various circumstances, which have their own specific materiality and corporeality. Therefore, it is worth perceiving not only what a researcher writes, but also that he/she writes, and above all – how he/she writes. This in turn should be analysed as individual and localised practice, associated with a particular researcher and a particular field. In the paper I pay attention to the practical aspects of note-taking on an example of my own research on autism.
