“Initiating a conversation”: The expressiveness of technologically conveyed communication about physical spaces and living in them

The article discusses methods in ethnological research work or different ways of communicating. It presents experiences with telephone conversations and, above all, internet-based video-conference
conversations as research techniques, comparing them to live conversations and field work. It deals with the role and possibilities of information-communication technology as a communicational
intermediary and with the issue of what such technologically conveyed communication facilitates in research and what it does not. It questions the role of researchers and the possibilities of
embodied experiencing and understanding, especially in researching physical spaces remotely.
