The Shadow Side of Fieldwork draws attention to the
typically hidden or unacknowledged aspects of ethnographic
fieldwork encounters that nevertheless shape the resulting
knowledge and texts. Addressing these invisible, elusive, unspoken
or mysterious elements introduces a distinctive rigor and
responsibility to ethnographic research.
- Luminaries in anthropology dare to explore the 'unspeakable'
and 'invisible' in the ethnographic encounter
- Considers personal and professional challenges (ethical,
epistemological, and political) faced by researchers who examine
the subjectivities inherent in their ethnographic insights
- Explores the value, and limitations, of addressing the personal
in ethnographic research
- Includes a critical discussion of the anthropologist’s
self in the field
- Introduces imaginative rigor to ethnographic research to heighten confidence in anthropological knowledge
