Teren marzeń. Antropolog daleko w domu (przełożył Michał Żerkowski)
Field of dreams: An anthropologist far away at home

Summary/Abstract: The extent to which personal narrative is seen as a valid component of ethnography has been debated by generations of anthropologists. Critics contend that self-reflection trivializes the text, while supporters assert that self-reflection mediates contradictions between personal and scientific authority inherent in the discipline. Through such self-reflection and description, this essay challenges the basic fieldwork narrative in which notions of distance/nearness and foreign/native are imagined as bounded categories of experience.
