205This article responds to a number of broad-brush claims and statements pertainingto ethnographic research during the Covid-19 pandemic: namely, thatethnographic (and qualitative) research is impossible; that it is unethical; andthat the pandemic represents a breach and has produced a new normal formof interaction order. The article draws from observations in public space andfrom one author’s ongoing fieldwork. We focus on a) an empirical analyticstance toward interaction in this so called unprecedented context, b) the occasionedand situated character of pandemic actions and members’ uses ofexisting methods, and, c) a discussion of ethical considerations grounded ina de-reification of the categories observer and observed. In summary, thearticle makes a strong case for ethnography as being possible, and possiblyimportant, and aims to illustrate the highly contextual character of whetherand when and how ethnographic research might continue during, and indeedimmediately following, the pandemic.
