Afterthoughts: The Experience and Agony of Fieldwork --Biographical Notes --IndexChallenges to ethnographic authority and to the ethics of representation have led many contemporary anthropologists to abandon fieldwork in favor of strategies of theoretical puppeteering, textual analysis, and surrogate ethnography. In Being There, John Borneman and Abdellah Hammoudi argue that ethnographies based on these strategies elide important insights. To demonstrate the power and knowledge attained through the fieldwork experience, they have gathered essays by anthropologists working in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tanzania, the Canadian Arctic, India, Germany, and Russia that shift attention back to the subtle dynamics of the ethnographic encounter. From an Inuit village to the foothills of Kilimanjaro, each account illustrates how, despite its challenges, fieldwork yields important insights outside the reach of textual analysis.EthnologyFieldworkAnthropologyFieldworkanthropology.countertransference.cultural studies.ethical responsibility.ethics of representation.ethnographic authority.ethnographic encounter.ethnography.fieldwork experience.fragile subject.germany.identification.india.interlocution.morality.morocco.personal experience.power of knowledge.russia.saudi arabia.social structures.speech translation.surrogate ethnography.syria.tanzania.textualism.the canadian arctic.EthnologyFieldwork.AnthropologyFieldwork.305.8/0072373.02bclBorneman John1952-1028798Hammoudi Abdellah1101308MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827182103321Being there4056810UNINA
