Abstract: Trademark of cultural anthropology, ethnographic fieldwork has enduringly stayed at the centre of the discipline as method of research. It is defined by long-term involvement with a community in a particular setting, entering its everyday life and learning its ways. This mode of data collection makes the researcher its main instrument, her body and mind the site where the object of research takes form through subjective interaction between two different cultures. Understanding and portraying an “other” requires building spaces of liminality that position both the anthropologist and her subjects outside the grip of the taken-for- granted of their social worlds. That fieldwork is more than a method of data collection and engenders huge ontological and epistemological consequences is the task of this methodological forum to take on to show. | |||||||
