摘要

人类学关于种族主义和殖民实践的众所周知的历史继续告诉我们,哪些主体在研究者和被研究的主体性方面被标记,这对方法论和分析产生了影响。在民族志的背景下,研究者想象的没有标记的身体不允许考虑他们的主体位置、伴随的历史以及研究者如何与所研究的群体互动之间的任何互动。当研究人员的立场明确时,很少发现关于研究人员的立场如何影响他们如何观察和观察什么的讨论。本文认为,在民族志文本中,公开参与(而不仅仅是注意)研究定位,阐明了民族志过程中未被探索的、分析丰富的、有教学价值的方面。通过强调作为一名黑人男性人种学家与年轻的白人保守派学生的三次民族志相遇,本文探讨了参与研究人员立场的一些好处和挑战,以及这样做如何使民族志进程受益。这篇文章提到了性侵犯和性暴力。

You Have Never Lived a Day Outside of Your Body: Engaging Racialized and Gendered Positionality in Ethnographic Research
Anthropology's well‐known history of racist and colonial practices continues to inform which bodies go (un)marked with regard to researcher and researched subjectivities, with consequences for methodology and analysis. The imagined unmarked body of the researcher in the ethnographic context disallows consideration of any interaction between their subject position, its attendant histories, and how researchers interact with the community under study. And when the researcher's positionality is made explicit, it is rare to find discussions of how the researcher's positionality informed how and what they could observe. This article argues that overtly engaging, not just noting, research positionality in ethnographic texts illuminates underexplored, analytically rich, and pedagogically valuable aspects of the ethnographic process. By highlighting three ethnographic encounters as a Black male ethnographer of young white conservative students, this article explores some of the benefits and challenges of engaging researcher positionality, and how doing so benefited the ethnographic process. This article contains references to sexual assault and sexual violence.
