What happens when anthropologists lose themselves during fieldwork
while attempting to understand divergent cultures? When they stray
from rigorous agendas and are forced to confront radically
unexpected or unexplained experiences? In Extraordinary
Anthropology leading ethnographers from across the globe discuss
the importance of the deeply personal and emotionally volatile
“ecstatic” side of fieldwork. Anthropologists who have
worked in communities in Central America, North America, Australia,
Africa, and Asia share their intimate experiences of tranformations
in the field through details of significant dreams, haunting
visions, and their own conflicting emotional tensions. Their
experiences demonstrate the necessary fluidity of research agendas,
the value of going beyond an accepted (and safe) cultural and
academic vantage point, and the inevitability of wrestling with
tension and unhappiness when faced with irreconcilable cultural and
psychological dichotomies. The contributors explore ways in which
conventional research methods can be adapted to creatively engage
the intellectual, ethical, and practical dimensions of these
dislocations and capitalize on them. Unsettling and revealing,
Extraordinary Anthropology will spark debate and reflection among
anthropologists for years to come.
