Ethnography is the systematic study of people and cultures. It is designed to explore cultural phenomena where the researcher observes society from the point of view of the subject of the study. An ethnography is a means to represent graphically and in writing the culture of a group. The word can thus be said to have a double meaning, which partly depends on whether it is used as a count noun or uncountable. The resulting field study or a case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group.
Paulaharju was born in Kurikka in 1875. He studied in the Jyväskylä Teacher Seminary and graduated in 1901. [1] After graduation, he first worked in Uusikirkko but in 1904 he moved to Oulu to work as a crafts and arts teacher in a school for deaf-mute children. [2] Paulaharju spent summers for field trips collecting folklore, in the winter he wrote his works and taught in the school. [3] He wrote 21 books, hundreds of journal articles, took over eight thousand photographs and made thousands of drawings on his trips. [1]
