ABSTRACT
This chapter contemplates the methodological implications of doing workplace ethnography in atmospheres, and, together with one's informants, thinking and talking about atmospheres while acting through them. Ethnography is a field, commonly used in anthropology, that today facilitates a wide range of social sciences. A few interviews were conducted during site supervisions, and a few post-fieldwork interviews took place via Teams and Zoom due to the constraints that were in place by then as a consequence of the pandemic. Atmospheres are ubiquitous, they transcend all boundaries, bodily, locally and globally, and therefore they can never be studied from the outside. Clearly, workplace ethnographies of the kind that the author practised should not merely end with analysis and writing; the post-fieldwork conversations are just as crucial as the fieldwork is to the process of recognition.
