Beskrivning
In recent years ever-increasing concerns about ethical dimensions of fieldwork practice have forced anthropologists and other social scientists to radically reconsider the nature, process, and outcomes of fieldwork: what should we be doing, how, for whom, and to what end? In this volume, practitioners from across anthropological disciplines - social and biological anthropology and primatology - come together to question and compare the ethical regulation of fieldwork, what is common to their practices, and what is distinctive to each discipline. Contributors probe a rich variety of contemporary questions: the new, unique problems raised by fieldworking online and via email; the potential dangers of primatological fieldwork for locals, primates, the environment, and the fieldworkers themselves; the problems of studying the military; and the place of ethical clearance for anthropologists involved in international health programs. A further, distinctive aim of this book is to help the development of a transdisciplinary anthropology at the methodological, not theoretical, level.

Recensioner i media

"This is an excellent volume that focuses on the ethics of field work. The topics considered represent a broad array that will be of interest to a wide audience. There is nothing like this to the best of my knowledge in the available literature, and the editors are highly recognized researchers who have done a very good job of attracting eminent scholars." * Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado "Contributors to this volume nicely and clearly present a diverse array of examples, case studies and data revealing the multi-dimensionality of ethics, as well as dilemmas and challenges that fieldworkers might expectedly or accidentally encounter and/or face during the course of their work." * Tatyana Humle, University of Kent
