Calvey, D. (2019). The everyday world of bouncers: A rehabilitated role for covert ethnography.

In this article, a basic principle of (current) research ethics is questioned. The author argues for doing covert research, which means that the participants are not informed about being part of research. Informed consent is not seen as necessary for this kind of ethnography. With this specific case, you can better understand what it means to do research with and without this consent and the difficulties that arise if you want to apply the principle but it does not really work in practice.
