Observations and Reflections of a Perpetual Fieldworker
In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 595, Heft 1, S. 309-326
ISSN: 1552-3349
This article is based on the author's five decades of experience as a "perpetual fieldworker, engaged ethnographer," and teacher of field methods of social research. After dealing with what she perceives as a false dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative methods of research, she considers some of the cognitive characteristics of ethnographic research and distinctive properties of field data. She pays special attention to the complex role of participant observer within which an ethnographer conducts field research, focusing on the delicate balance between involvement and detachment that it entails and between listening and questioning. The article ends with an acknowledgement of the pivotal part that informants play in this kind of inquiry and with a tribute to the enduring meaning of a researcher's relationship to these "companions in the field" and her indebtedness to them.
