सारांश	Interpretive netnography applies Kozinets' netnographic method within an explicitly interpretivist epistemological framework. The researcher immerses in online communities — social media, forums, blogs, or brand communities — to understand how members co-construct meaning, identity, and culture through digital interaction. Unlike positivist content analysis, interpretive netnography foregrounds the researcher's situated reading of online texts and privileges thick, contextualised meaning-making over frequency counts or variable measurement.	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.
