Resum	Interpretive digital ethnography is a qualitative research design that studies human cultures, communities, and practices as they emerge and unfold in digital spaces. Drawing on the interpretivist tradition, it treats online environments as genuine cultural sites and uses sustained, participant-oriented fieldwork to produce rich, context-sensitive accounts of how people create meaning through digital interaction.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
