摘要：This paper explores the nature and use of “Rose’s Gloss” for
ethnographic research. Rose’s Gloss is a technique – credited to Edward
Rose, late of the University of Colorado at Boulder – for eliciting information
from members of society without imposing methodologically ironic
categories onto members’ responses. This facilitates what Rose called
“natural” (people’s own) rather than “professional” (stipulative) sociology,
which is the distinctive feature of the “Ethno-Inquiries” approach to social
research that he pioneered. A pilgrimage to Jerusalem provided
unexpected opportunities to document the worded nature of social life. The
pilgrimage demonstrates how Rose’s Gloss can be used as an
ethnographic practice to pass as a competent participant in study sites.
