Critical ethnography applies a critical theory based approach to ethnography. It focuses on the implicit values expressed within ethnographic studies and, therefore, on the unacknowledged biases that may result from such implicit values. It has been called critical theory in practice. In the spirit of critical theory, this approach seeks to determine symbolic mechanisms, to extract ideology from action, and to understand the cognition and behaviour of research subjects within historical, cultural, and social frameworks.

  • Critical ethnography applies a critical theory based approach to ethnography. It focuses on the implicit values expressed within ethnographic studies and, therefore, on the unacknowledged biases that may result from such implicit values. It has been called critical theory in practice. In the spirit of critical theory, this approach seeks to determine symbolic mechanisms, to extract ideology from action, and to understand the cognition and behaviour of research subjects within historical, cultural, and social frameworks. Critical ethnography incorporates reflexive inquiry into its methodology. Researchers employing this approach position themselves as being intrinsically linked to those being studied and thus inseparable from their context. In addition to speaking on behalf of subjects, critical ethnographers will also attempt to recognize and articulate their own perspective as a means of acknowledging the biases that their own limitations, histories, and institutional standpoints bear on their work. Further, critical ethnography is inherently political as well as pedagogical in its approach. There is no attempt to be purely detached and scientifically objective in reporting and analysis. In contrast to conventional ethnography which describes what is, critical ethnography also asks what could be in order to disrupt tacit power relationships and perceived social inequalities. (en)
  • De acuerdo con Thomas (2003),​ la etnografía crítica no es una teoría sino una perspectiva por la cual un investigador cualitativo puede enmarcar cuestionamientos y promover acción. Su propósito es la emancipación de miembros culturales de ideologías que no son de su beneficio y no de su creación –un concepto importante en teoría crítica. Porque la etnografía crítica surge de puntos teoréticos de la teoría crítica, inicia con asumir que las instituciones culturales pueden producir una falsa conciencia en donde poder y opresión se vuelven ‘realidades’ “tomadas de a gratis” o ideologías. De esta manera, la etnografía crítica va más allá de una descripción de la cultura, va hacia la acción para el cambio, al cuestionar la falsa conciencia e ideologías expuestas a lo largo de la investigación.
