O knihe

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.
