【 摘 要 】

Ethnographic research aims to understand people’s relation to all aspects of life including nature, culture, things, imagination, practice on their own terms. This research method is based on a long-term and intimate relationship between researcher and researched. This intimate relationship which is based on trust brings about a number of ethical problems. This article first of all looks at the rise of ethical codes in human subject research and the influence of institutionalization of ethical rules on ethnographic research in the last three decades. These debates show the limits of ethical codes in ethnographic method and raise questions about how ethnographic research, which revolve around everyday life, engages with the questions of politics and ethics. The second part of the article deals with the ethical questions in ethnographic research in Turkey. The last part briefly discusses the fact that recently more ethnographic researches address questions about the ethical life.
