Description
Summary:The article presents the methodology of ethnographic field research which the author used to study entrepreneurial aspects of Polish street artists’ activities. The presented ethnographic, started in 2012, was based mainly on interviews and participant observation. The activity of performers, mimes and musicians working in the street is regarded as an instance of experience economy. Artists earn money thanks to their handmade costumes and their invented creations, providing people with memories and experiences. This essay also presents some of the ethical dilemmas and methodological problems experienced by a novice ethnographer. The author describes her qualitative research in detail: preparations, enactment, ways of obtaining and interpreting material . She presents her field , relations with her interlocutors and her work with the empirical material. Entrepreneurship is framed within its original context, as entrepreneurial activities of non-formal art organizations.
