Abstract. Survey chapter laying out how anthropological ethnography differs from corporate "user research," the four principles of natural setting / holism / descriptive understanding / member's-perspective, and how shorter "design ethnography" trades depth for actionability. The reference for any "but is it really ethnography?" debate in UX.
