The nature of anthropological fieldwork changes from generation to
generation, reflecting current personal, moral and political
issues. This collection addresses the central position of fieldwork
in modern social anthropology, examining previous works on the
subject and locating a discussion of the nature of fieldwork within
the context of current theoretical debates. Central to this
analysis are the personal accounts of six anthropologists, all
trained in the tradition of social anthropology and working in a
variety of different social, economic and environmental settings
--- Italy, the Himalayas, Northern England, Bangladesh and
Indonesia. Each example is a discussion of the close relationship
which anthropologists establish with friends and informants in the
field. Collectively they describe the varying ways in which that
closeness affects the nature of the anthropologists' observation,
as well as an understanding of themselves and their discipline. The
study reveals that, although the younger generation of social
anthropologists clearly derive their inspiration from the ideas and
insights of an earlier generation, they are working with a set of
very different political and personal circumstances. Accessible,
beautifully written and jargon-free, Being There breaks new ground
in the way in which its authors explain and reflect on their
intentions and emotions, and the nature of their personal
relationships with their informants.
