Being therethe fieldwork encounter and the making of truth /[electronic resource] :John Borneman. - Berkeley :University of California Press,2009. - 1 online resource (289 p.)

Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Acknowledgments; 1. The Fieldwork Encounter, Experience, and the Making of Truth: An Introduction; 2. Textualism and Anthropology: On the Ethnographic Encounter, or an Experience in the Hajj; 3. The Suicidal Wound and Fieldwork among Canadian Inuit; 4. The Hyperbolic Vegetarian: Notes on a Fragile Subject in Gujarat; 5. The Obligation to Receive: The Countertransference, the Ethnographer, Protestants, and Proselytization in North India; 6. Encounter and Suspicion in Tanzania.

Challenges to ethnographic authority and to the ethics of representation have led many contemporary anthropologists to abandon fieldwork in favor of strategies of theoretical puppeteering, textual analysis, and surrogate ethnography. In Being There, John Borneman and Abdellah Hammoudi argue that ethnographies based on these strategies elide important insights. To demonstrate the power and knowledge attained through the fieldwork experience, they have gathered essays by anthropologists working in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tanzania, the Canadian Arctic, India, Germany, and Russia that shift.
