Description
The Restless Anthropologist: New Fieldsites, New Visions By Alma Gottlieb This collection brings together eight anthropologists who share their personal and intellectual journeys as they transitioned from one research site to another. From village life in the West African rainforest to urban communities in Europe and Asia, these scholars recount the challenges and opportunities of uprooting their lives and work. The contributors discuss how their earlier and later projects compare, revealing the circumstances that led them to make significant changes and the motivations that drove them forward. In doing so, they challenge some of the central assumptions of their discipline and reimagine the concept of the anthropological fieldsite. Through their stories, these scholars shed light on the complexities of life-course, research methods, institutional support, professional networks, and disciplinary paradigm shifts. This book offers a unique insight into the personal and intellectual dynamics of uprooting one's life and work in pursuit of new knowledge and understanding.
