During the past several years, a more fully articulated and less defensive conception of the nature of fieldwork has emerged. Within this conception two specific themes stand out: first, fieldworkers increasingly understand and carry out their craft as an interpretive enterprise; second, fieldworkers have come to devote close attention to the actual practice of doing fieldwork. The materials in this book have been assembled with an eye toward furthering and consolidating these developments. To focus on processes of interpretation and practice is to move toward a more reflective, selfconscious stance toward the fieldwork enterprise. Selfconsciousness emerges with the recognition that fieldwork itself is a social phenomenon, inescapably part of the very social worlds it seeks to discover, describe, and analyze. This recognition dispels any last vestiges of the belief that the fieldworker can somehow avoid or transcend the sorts of practical concerns and personal involvements that pervade everyday social life. Once the social character of the fieldworker is stressed, one is in a position to see more clearly the variety of personal, interactional, moral, and practical processes that lie at its core.
