内容説明

"Gendered Fields" explores a cluster of issues concerned with gender and fieldwork of recent feminist and postmodernist debates. International in its scope and in the background of its contributors, the book aims to bridge the gap between practical experience and theoretical investigation by taking a gender perspective and showing how it actually takes shape in interpersonal or group dynamics in the field. The contributors cross disciplinary boundaries and draw on the work of philosophers, literary critics, linguists, historians and postmodernist thinkers, to build on and advance a dialogue between anthropology, feminism and postmodernism. They highlight the complex position of the ethnographer in the field, exploring the uncertainties of dealing with male-female relationships at both a personal and cultural level, and showing the extent to which the anthroplogist becomes dependant on learning through experience. The contributions reveal how personality, intuition, ingenuity and self- analysis become tools of research as ethnographers sort out meaningful ways of understanding gender in context.

内容説明

Virtually all anthropologists undertaking fieldwork experience emotional difficulties in relating their own personal culture to the field culture. The issue of gender arises because ethnographers do fieldwork by establishing relationships, and this is done as a person of a particular age, sexual orientation, belief, educational background, ethnic identity and class. In particular it is done as men and women. Gendered Fields examines and explores the progress of feminist anthropology, the gendered nature of fieldwork itself, and the articulation of gender with other aspects of the self of the ethnographer.
