Cross-Cultural Fieldwork: The Heart of Anthropological Research

Original language description

This article was originally a keynote address presented at a 2017 conference on international fieldwork, hosted by Palacký University’s department of Sociology, Andragogy and Cultural Anthropology. It reviews the history of ethnographic fieldwork and the rationale behind it, the potential insights such research may offer, and the challenges – physical, logistical, emotional, and ethical – that often face fieldworkers, particularly when studying remote communities and unfamiliar cultures. I then examine my five decades of ethnographic field experience in light of these more general considerations.
