However, it is often assumed that only fieldwork experiences are relevant and that the personal appears only in the form of self-reflexivity. This book takes a step beyond anthropology at home and auto-ethnography and shows how anthropologists can include their memories and experiences as ethnographic data in their writing. It discusses issues such as authenticity, translation and ethics in relation to the self, and offers a new perspective on doing ethnographic fieldwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book is recommended as useful for anyone writing ethnography in that it acknowledges the difficulties of engaging in anthropology, but also its challenges and rewards compared to other disciplines.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Anthropological Notebooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…an excellent collection of anthropological autobiographical essays focusing on the positionality and resource of the self in ethnography… The essays are engaging and well written… [and] remind me of some of those classic anthropological \/ ethnographic collections – interesting in their own right to read, but also serving as a good teaching resource.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Amanda Coffey\u003c\/strong\u003e, Cardiff University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePrologue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePeter Collins\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAnselma Gallinat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e The Ethnographic Self as Resource: an Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePeter Collins\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAnselma Gallinat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: BEING SELF AND OTHER: ANTHROPOLOGISTS AT HOME\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Playing the Native Card: the Anthropologist as Informant in Eastern Germany\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAnselma Gallinat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Foregroundingthe Self in Fieldwork among Rural Women in Croatia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLynette Sikic-Micanovic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Some Reflections on the ‘Enchantments’ of Village Life, or Whose Story is This?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAnne Kathrine Larsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e The Ethics of Participant Observation: Personal Reflections on Fieldwork in England\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eNigel Rapport\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: WORKING ON\/WITH\/THROUGH MEMORY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Ethnographers as Language Learners: From Oblivion and Towards an Echo\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAlison Phipps\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Leading Questions and Body Memories: a Case of Phenomenology and Physical Ethnography in the Dance Interview\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJonathan Skinner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Dualling Memories: Twinship and the Disembodiment of Identity\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDona Lee Davis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDorothy I.
