Scholarly engagement with ethics, epistemologies and positionalities dilemmas in conflict research is marked by a disconnect between self-referential debates in the Ivory Tower and the very places research takes place. If there is reflection on foreign researchers, research brokers or research participants, accounts of genuinely collaborative work are rare. Drawing from a decade of collaborative research in eastern Congo, our essay targets this gap by critically discussing challenges we faced and lessons we learned with regards to our mutual positionalities. In so doing, we join debates calling for situated reflection on ethnography in and of conflict zones. Based on our research experience, we contend that a fully joint approach – including planning, execution, analysis and writing – can be an avenue toward decolonizing our ethics and epistemologies. Moreover, we argue for a pluriversal ethics that accounts for context and positionalities of the involved researchers and allows for collaborative worldmaking.
学术界对冲突研究中的伦理、认识论和立场困境的参与,标志着象牙塔中的自我参照辩论与研究所在地之间的脱节。如果对外国研究人员、研究经纪人或研究参与者进行反思,那么真正合作的报道就很少了。根据在刚果东部进行的十年合作研究,我们的文章针对这一差距,批判性地讨论了我们在相互立场方面面临的挑战和吸取的教训。在这样做的过程中,我们加入了呼吁对冲突地区和冲突地区的民族志进行实地反思的辩论。根据我们的研究经验,我们认为,一种完全联合的方法——包括计划、执行、分析和写作——可以成为我们道德和认识论非殖民化的途径。此外,我们主张多元伦理,考虑到相关研究人员的背景和立场,并允许合作创造世界。

In this article, we delve into a debate about whether a kitchen was to be installed in a new Women’s House in a city in the Basque Country (Hernani, Gipuzkoa). The ethnography presented here was conducted by observing the process around the creation of the House. Articulating the debate’s main points led us to examine the dominant cultural assumptions about cooking in Basque society, especially in view of the opposing feminist positions on the kitchen and the domestic sphere. To understand the changes that took place, it is essential to consider the participants’ previous experience, the shape the discussion took and the diffractions and interferences that occurred during the process, as well as the priority placed on ‘being and doing together’ and being aware of the (self-)imposed limits while also allowing, even for a short period of time, the dichotomies that characterize and delimit this intercultural encounter to be questioned.
在这篇文章中,我们深入探讨了巴斯克地区(Hernani, Gipuzkoa)一个城市的新妇女之家是否应该安装厨房的争论。这里展示的民族志是通过观察房子创建的过程来进行的。通过阐述辩论的主要观点,我们审视了巴斯克社会中关于烹饪的主流文化假设,特别是考虑到厨房和家庭领域中反对女权主义的立场。为了理解所发生的变化,有必要考虑参与者以前的经历、讨论的形式、过程中发生的分歧和干扰,以及优先考虑“共同存在和共同行动”,意识到(自我)强加的限制,同时也允许,即使是在很短的时间内,这种跨文化接触的特征和界限的二分法受到质疑。

Tangier heat: On migrant vulnerability and social thermology 丹吉尔热:论移民脆弱性与社会热学

This article investigates a particular moment of political tension and intimidation of sub-Saharan migrants in Northern Morocco. Drawing on insights gained from collective fieldwork in Tangier, as well as from individual, longstanding ethnographic engagements with migrants from Guinea-Bissau and Mali, it describes the way West African migrants are policed, used as political capital and made the unwilling pawns of large-scale geopolitical negotiations. Targeted and intimidated as part of a diplomatic performance related to the bilateral dealings between Morocco and the European Union, their hardship is orchestrated to communicate the Moroccan state’s control of migration flows into the EU. The article clarifies the existential and social consequences of such staged persecution among migrants and elucidates how it is made sense of and managed through vernacular notions of ‘heat’, a metaphor for nonviable existence. As we shall see, such metaphors provide a window to a larger ‘social thermological’ register prevalent in making sense of precarious circumstance in both social life, social science and politics.
本文调查了摩洛哥北部撒哈拉以南移民面临的政治紧张和恐吓的特殊时刻。它借鉴了从丹吉尔的集体实地调查以及与几内亚比绍和马里移民的个人长期民族志接触中获得的见解,描述了西非移民被监管的方式,被用作政治资本,并成为大规模地缘政治谈判中不情愿的棋子。作为摩洛哥和欧盟之间双边交易外交表现的一部分,他们受到了针对性和恐吓,他们的困难是为了传达摩洛哥国家对移民流入欧盟的控制。这篇文章阐明了移民中这种阶段性迫害的生存和社会后果,并阐明了如何通过“热”的白话概念来理解和管理这种迫害,“热”是一种不生存的隐喻。正如我们将要看到的那样,这些隐喻为理解社会生活、社会科学和政治中的不稳定环境提供了一个更大的“社会热”语域的窗口。

Anthropologists increasingly turn to design research for inspiration. Yet work in design anthropology is frequently cut off from ethnographic research. To some extent this is intentional, given concerns that ethnographic methods have failed to keep pace with a rapidly changing world. But anthropologists should not have to choose between ethnography and design research. This article examines the author’s participation in an industrial think tank in which anthropologists and engineers collaborated to address the environmental impacts of mining. This included discussion of unrecognized sources of pollution at mining sites and rising penalties for environmental damage. The members of the think tank also developed designs for new technology intended to reduce the exposure of artisanal gold miners to mercury and its release into the atmosphere, facilitate the recycling of electronic waste in developing countries, and reduce the catastrophic risks posed by tailings dams. Our collaborations point to the value of combining ethnography and design research in new ways.
人类学家越来越多地转向设计研究寻求灵感。然而,设计人类学的工作经常与人种学研究脱节。在某种程度上,这是故意的,因为人们担心民族志方法无法跟上快速变化的世界。但人类学家不应该在民族志和设计研究之间做出选择。本文考察了作者参与一个工业智库的情况,在该智库中,人类学家和工程师合作解决采矿对环境的影响。这包括讨论未被承认的矿场污染源,以及提高对环境破坏的处罚。该智库的成员还开发了新技术的设计,旨在减少手工金矿工人接触汞及其向大气中的释放,促进发展中国家电子废物的回收利用,并减少尾矿坝带来的灾难性风险。我们的合作指出了以新的方式将民族志和设计研究相结合的价值。

Centre for Peace Studies (CPS) ( Centar za mirovne studije – CMS) falls under the broader corpus of examples of youth activation where organisation has used its work to highlight the existence of a ‘critical mass’ among youth in Croatia. This ethnographic research deals with social activism through attempts to make up for (according to the actors) inefficient state care for marginalised groups, in this specific case migrants. Participatory observation method and semi-structured interviews provided us with an in-depth insight into the activities of the organisation, but also into the specific motives, values and norms of young people gathered around the organisation. The basic research questions refer to the specific sets of motives of young people involved in volunteering and their attitude towards their own culture and cultural heritage as an indicator of the strategy of constructing their own identity and attitudes towards the ‘other’.
和平研究中心(CPS) (Centar za mirovne studije - CMS)属于更广泛的青年激活实例库,这些组织利用其工作来强调克罗地亚青年中存在“临界质量”。这项民族志研究通过试图弥补(根据参与者的说法)对边缘群体(在这个具体案例中是移民)低效的国家护理来处理社会行动主义。参与式观察法和半结构化访谈让我们深入了解了组织的活动,也了解了聚集在组织周围的年轻人的具体动机、价值观和规范。基本研究问题是指参与志愿服务的年轻人的具体动机和他们对自己的文化和文化遗产的态度,作为构建自己的身份和对“他者”的态度的策略的指标。

The interpretation of relationships: Fieldwork as boundary-negotiation 关系的解读:实地考察作为边界谈判

Following critiques of anthropologists’ involvement in colonialism and insufficient attention to power, friendship, solidarity, and closeness have become implicit ideals for fieldwork relationships. But distance is also inherent to respectful fieldwork relationships. I therefore argue for greater attention to boundaries—the ways we are able to mutually understand in the midst of, rather than by dissolving, difference and distance—and the labor and finesse that go into negotiating them. Foregrounding boundary work allows for a greater honesty about fieldwork relationships and facilitates the broadness of spirit that is the discipline’s hallmark. It also helps people who are most engaged in boundary work to grapple with it and not see that work as failure, weakness, or their taking “risks.” And it further helps one avoid imposing one’s own social ideals for egalitarianism or intimacy on one’s interlocutors. Boundaries are not the enemy of mutual understanding and integrity; in fact, boundaries facilitate them.
随着对人类学家参与殖民主义和对权力关注不足的批评,友谊、团结和亲密已成为野外工作关系的隐含理想。但距离也是相互尊重的野外工作关系所固有的。因此,我主张更多地关注边界——我们能够在差异和距离中相互理解的方式,而不是通过消解差异和距离——以及谈判这些边界所需要的努力和技巧。前景边界工作允许对实地工作关系更加诚实,并促进了作为该学科标志的精神的广博性。它还可以帮助那些从事边界工作的人与之斗争,而不是将这项工作视为失败、弱点或他们在承担“风险”。它进一步帮助人们避免将自己对平等主义或亲密关系的社会理想强加给对话者。边界不是相互理解和诚信的敌人;事实上,界限有助于他们。

The communitarian stigma: Stigmatization as a mechanism of institutional racism in France 社群主义的污名化:污名化是法国制度性种族主义的一种机制

This article examines minority citizens’ attempts of civic participation in the working-class banlieue of Tiercy in the Paris area by considering the double-bind they are confronted to: their efforts to perform as active and locally engaged citizens are readily abrogated by suspicions of violating what public authorities understand as appropriate modes of civic participation. By zooming into the chain of events that caused a minority leader of West African origin to be disqualified as a civic actor based on accusations of ‘communitarianism’, it develops a relational analysis of stigmatization as a meso-level mechanism of institutional racism. The analysis shows that competing definitions of ‘civic’ and asymmetrical social relations together engender racially differentiated principles of interaction that prepare the ground for the emergence of stigma in organization settings.
本文通过考虑少数民族公民所面临的双重约束,考察了少数民族公民在巴黎地区蒂尔西工人阶级郊区的公民参与尝试:他们作为积极的和当地参与的公民所做的努力很容易被怀疑违反了公共当局所理解的适当的公民参与模式所抵消。通过放大导致一名西非裔少数民族领导人因“社群主义”指控而被取消公民行为者资格的一系列事件,它对污名化作为制度性种族主义的中层机制进行了关系分析。分析表明,“公民”和不对称社会关系的相互竞争的定义共同产生了种族差异化的互动原则,为组织环境中出现污名化奠定了基础。

Chinese rural left-behind elderly: Their individualization, descending familism and difficulties 中国农村留守老人的个体化、家族主义与困境

China’s social changes have altered the family structure of rural villagers, leading to increasing numbers of rural left-behind elderly (RLBE). RLBE are considered victims of social changes, abandoned by their migrant children. However, this ethnographic work from two villages in southern China showed that the problems of RLBE are not related to being left behind but stem from institutional deficiencies faced by rural families. RLBE have been adapting to social changes and showed some signs of individualization; with improved economic status, they will have more opportunities to make personal choices. Nevertheless, migration is a family project; familism is still the core, yet descending. Descending familism was a re-embedment to regain a safety net when institutions were deficient. However, familism is not enough to cope with great risks. New ways to develop rural areas are key to solving the problems of RLBE and their families.
中国的社会变革改变了农村村民的家庭结构,导致农村留守老人的数量不断增加。RLBE被认为是社会变革的受害者,被他们的移民子女抛弃。然而,这项来自中国南方两个村庄的民族志研究表明,RLBE的问题并非与落后有关,而是源于农村家庭面临的制度缺陷。RLBE一直在适应社会的变化,并表现出一些个性化的迹象;随着经济地位的提高,他们将有更多的机会做出个人选择。然而,移徙是一个家庭项目;家庭主义仍然是核心,但正在下降。当制度不足时,家庭主义的衰落是为了重新获得安全网。然而,家庭主义不足以应对巨大的风险。农村发展的新途径是解决RLBE及其家庭问题的关键。

Ethnographic (dis) locations: An approach for studying marginalisation in the context of socio-economic change 民族志(dis)位置:社会经济变化背景下研究边缘化的方法

This paper revisits discussions about the pursuit of a singular location for ethnographic research. Citing challenges to the fixity of location, from circulation of people to the impossibility of containing digital worlds, scholars have proposed multi-sited, multi-scalar, multi-modal and multi-sensorial ethnographies, advocating that the researcher ‘follow the actor’. Drawing upon these innovations, this paper traces the affects generated in the process of following the actors as well as the consequent blurring of the division between the researcher and the researched so that they together constitute the category of ‘actors’ who co-produce the field. Using the example of an ethnography with young lower middle class women in Delhi, this paper deploys the researcher’s experience of dislocation or unexpected shuttling in the field to develop ‘dislocation’ as a methodological and analytical strategy for studying marginalisation in the context of socio-economic change by embracing intersubjective relations, affects and partiality of knowledge in ethnographic research.
本文回顾了关于追求民族志研究的单一地点的讨论。学者们以对地点固定性的挑战为例,从人的流通到数字世界的不可能包含,提出了多地点、多尺度、多模态和多感官的民族志,主张研究者“跟随行动者”。在这些创新的基础上,本文追溯了在跟踪参与者的过程中产生的影响,以及随之而来的研究者和被调查者之间界限的模糊,从而共同构成了共同生产该领域的“参与者”类别。本文以德里年轻中下层妇女的民族志为例,利用研究者在该领域的错位或意外穿梭的经验,通过拥抱民族志研究中的主体间关系、影响和知识的偏袒,将“错位”作为一种方法和分析策略,用于研究社会经济变化背景下的边缘化。

Using the example of an ethnography with young lower middle class women in Delhi, this paper deploys the researcher’s experience of dislocation or unexpected shuttling in the field to develop ‘dislocation’ as a methodological and analytical strategy for studying marginalisation in the context of socio-economic change by embracing intersubjective relations, affects and partiality of knowledge in ethnographic research.","PeriodicalId":47573,"journal":{"name":"Ethnography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45065814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines how five male waste pickers in Khorramabad, Iran, negotiate the stigmatization and criminalization associated with their work against the backdrop of escalating social inequality. I demonstrate how the men use embodied compliance and discursive narratives of masculine self-sacrifice to position themselves as innocent, sacrificial heroes. In changing the narrative from one of humiliation to valor, the men both amplify the classed and gendered hierarchy while simultaneously critiquing the social order that has led to their marginalization. This gendered identity work arises as a response to both classism and everyday occupational denigration, enabling waste pickers to construct distinct moral selves in Iran’s current global moment, but at the expense of disparaging devalued others and creating new forms of inequality.
本文考察了伊朗霍拉马巴德的五名男性拾捡者如何在社会不平等加剧的背景下,与他们的工作相关的污名化和刑事定罪进行谈判。我展示了男人们是如何使用具体化的顺从和男性自我牺牲的话语叙事来将自己定位为无辜的,牺牲的英雄。在将叙事从屈辱转变为英勇的过程中,男性既放大了阶级和性别等级,同时又批评了导致他们被边缘化的社会秩序。这种性别认同的工作是对阶级歧视和日常职业诋毁的回应,使拾取垃圾的人能够在伊朗当前的全球时刻构建独特的道德自我,但代价是贬低被贬低的其他人,并创造新的不平等形式。
