Show and Tell: Mapping communicative patterns in everyday life

Jesper Pagh; Fiona Huijie Zeng; Signe Sophus Lai

Abstract

Six months ago, we set out to conduct qualitative fieldwork in China, the US, and Denmark, following a tested and shared approach that allowed for comparability of media practices across culturally distinct contexts. This paper presents that particular methodological setup aimed at unravelling complicated, ubiquitously embedded, and mundane media uses and rituals as they occur in various everyday contexts. Finally, we discuss the challenges and rewards in approaching media practices through the mapping of individuals’ communicative patterns.
