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. 606 $aEthnology$xFieldwork 606 $aAnthropology$xFieldwork 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acountertransference. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aethical responsibility. 610 $aethics of representation. 610 $aethnographic authority. 610 $aethnographic encounter. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afieldwork experience. 610 $afragile subject. 610 $agermany. 610 $aidentification. 610 $aindia. 610 $ainterlocution. 610 $amorality. 610 $amorocco. 610 $apersonal experience. 610 $apower of knowledge. 610 $arussia. 610 $asaudi arabia. 610 $asocial structures. 610 $aspeech translation. 610 $asurrogate ethnography. 610 $asyria. 610 $atanzania. 610 $atextualism. 610 $athe canadian arctic. 615 0$aEthnology$xFieldwork. 615 0$aAnthropology$xFieldwork. 676 $a305.8/00723 686 $a73.02$2bcl 701 $aBorneman$b John$f1952-$01028798 701 $aHammoudi$b Abdellah$01101308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827182103321 996 $aBeing there$94056810 997 $aUNINA
