The limits to speed in ethnographymcefkin@us.ibm.com “… I think that the attention to micro-practices and/or everyday life is extremely important, because it demands a time commitment and there is no way to rush everyday life. … Identifying what is significant can’t be done quickly, it seems, or at least there is no rapid means of guaranteeing that one is correct in one’s assessment. Attention to the micro-practices slows you down, so let’s slow down.” P. Rabinow, 2008, p. 95
