Focusing on issues of empathy and mutuality, and self and other, as
experienced in the everyday challenges of doing
participant-observation fieldwork, this volume makes a significant
contribution to rethinking the experiential and conceptual
construction of the field. The contributors adopt a critical and
self reflexive approach that goes beyond issues of voice and
representation raised by early postmodern anthropology, to grapple
with issues concerning the nature of knowledge transmission that
lie at the very heart of the ethnographic effort. They explore how
multiple modes of attending, awareness and sense making can shape
the ethnographic process. Of note are those unanticipated, less
palpable forms of communication that are peripheral to or transcend
more formalized and structured research methods and agendas. Among
these are empathy, intuition, somatic modes of attention and/or
embodied knowledge and identification, as well as, shared sensory
experiences and aesthetics. By the elaboration of such concepts the
volume as a whole offers a substantial elaboration of a
phenomenological approach.
