Emotions in the Field: The Psychology and Anthropology of Fieldwork Experience
- Synopsis
-
Because of the perceived link between emotion and irrationality, field researchers often underreport emotions that they experience while doing their work, even though their denial of emotion doesn't necessarily improve their research. In this book of essays, contributors explore the idea that emotion is an untapped source of insight that can complement traditional methods of research, and show how certain reactions and experiences consistently evoked in fieldwork can be translated into meaningful data when treated with intellectual rigor.
