What do we mean by the word 'ethnography' in today's world? If you look in the dictionary you will find many definitions. To my mind, in fact, the word is burdened by meaning that has more to do with culture than with science. Perhaps the very idea of what we are in the 21st Century is as culturally loaded as the word itself. Regardless of how the word is defined, when we go to work in an ethnographic field, it means that the researcher will be part of a community, observing and participating in the behaviors and culture of the community and their activities and its institutions. (By the way, the word 'ethnography' comes from two Greek words, etymologically translated to mean "life-analysis", i.e. the analysis of life. Which is interesting because the work of the chief ethnographer in this journal is described as the analysis of the value of life. Who knows, perhaps this is an oxymoron, for the analysis of life is never the work of one single person, but of many who individually do not always share the same definitions of life.)
At first glance, this may seem like a very subtle and submissive position. As an anthropologist, I think it is important to remind myself that my work is not to make friends but to make field notes and publish. Anthropology is an incurable profession. You cannot 'go native' and if you do you are going to have a bad time.
What I have learned about myself in this very active field of ethnographic research is that the ethnographer is often "one of the tribe" and that one has to watch one's back. I remember working
