Cowboy Narrative - W. L. Rhodes
No full textA transcript of a Cowboy Narrative, or Rangelore, interview conducted by Woody Phipps for the Works Progress Administration\u27s Federal Writers\u27 Project in the 1930s with former cowboy W. L. Rhodes. Rhodes was born on his father\u27s farm in Georgia, and moved to Kaufman County, Texas at a young age. He began working as a cowhand at a neighboring ranch part time when he was nine years old, and full time when he was twelve. In his interview, he describes roundups, rustling, branding, roping, trail drives, and stampedes. He also tells a story about chasing down a rival cattleman on the open range.https://mavmatrix.uta.edu/specialcollections_workprojectsadministration/1079/thumbnail.jp
'Genre blurring' in public administration: what can we learn from the humanities
No full textThis article seeks to broaden the craft of public administration by ‘blurring genres’. First, I explain the phrase ‘blurring genres’. Second, I provide some examples of early work in administrative ethnography. Third, I compare this early, modernist-empiricist ethnography with interpretive ethnography, suggesting researchers confront three choices: naturalism vs. anti-naturalism; intensive vs. hit-and-run fieldwork; and generalisation vs. local knowledge. After this general discussion, and fourth, I discuss the more prosaic issues that confront anyone seeking to use ethnography to study public administration and look at fieldwork roles, relevance, time, evidence and fieldwork relationships. Fifth, I describe and illustrate the several tools students of public administration can use as well as observation and interviews; namely, focus groups, para-ethnography, visual ethnography, and storytelling. Finally, I conclude that ethnographic fieldwork provides texture, depth and nuance, and lets interviewees explain the meaning of their actions. It is an indispensable tool and a graphic example of how to enrich public administration by drawing on the theories and methods of the humanities
