Özet:

In this study, the intricacies of the interview technique that builds ethnographic research, and some principles that the researcher should pay attention to while conducting an ethnographic interview are discussed. In the first part, the cultural context in which the interview took place and the importance of considering polyphony in this context were emphasized. Afterwards, the position that the researcher should take while listening to the participants in the field and how the positionality of the researcher should be constructed were tried to be explained in detail. In this context, while discussing the possible limitations of the relationship between the researcher and the participants in the interview process, it is also mentioned how the researcher's relationship with the participants should be to obtain qualified and rich data from the interviews. The richness of the data obtained enables the ethnographer to create a strong narrative construction while processing and textualizing the data. It is very valuable to include the rich categories, concepts and themes compiled from the interviews in the textualization stages to put the text on solid foundations. This is particularly important in that it enables the ethnographer to bridge both his previous knowledge of the field and the new data he has obtained in the field. In ethnographic fieldwork, the ethnographer has the crucial responsibility of integrating the existing context with the connections he has established with the outside world. Reflexivity, as an important component of the ethnographic interview, offers an ideal ethnographic prescription to the ethnographer to avoid ethical problems that may arise both during the interview process and at the point of data analysis.
