From Field to Location : Aspects of Non-Reflexivity in Problematizing the ‘Field’ in Anthropology
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study critically analyzes the scholarly attempts of problematizing the ‘field’ in anthropology. The existing scholarship is interested in explicating the power relations involved in the production of the field and the knowledge it generates. In this study, I argue that, the acclaimed post-disciplinary attempts to incorporate voice of the marginalized in the anthropological knowledge through deconstructing some of its basic concepts are not a derivative of the experientially learned existentiality of the phenomena analyzed rather is a mechanical application of already available tools produced in the situatedness they are critical of and is embodied by the rationality of the situation it gave birth to.
