Foregrounding the self in fieldwork among rural women in Croatia
This chapter shows how personal experiences in the field are an important and accessible source of ethnographic data and for this reason the researcher should not be rendered invisible in the ethnography but rather foregrounded as an embodied, situated and subjective self. Fieldwork for this study was among both women and men in six rural villages in Slavonia, in the county of Vukovar-Sirmium, Croatia. The chapter covers the author’s positionality and research orientations as well as access, rapport, research dilemmas and challenges in the field. The author concludes that our personal experiences and memories as well as our temperaments and personalities inevitably influence our choice of research sites, themes, design and theoretical approaches. Further, all that constitutes the self has a further impact on research relations and interactions (access) in the field where new knowledge is created, shaped and negotiated.
