Description
Summary:The ethnographer cannot conceive his research without a “fieldsite”. The fieldsite can take multiple forms, be deployed on one site or several at a time, be transnational. It also always has something moving that can push the researcher to take a certain risk. And in this, the expression “all-terrain” takes on its full meaning. It is from the examination of her own ethnographic experiences, on the long time of a career (from the 1980s to the 2000s), that the author wishes to grasp the adaptations and readjustments that her fieldsites have implied and thus the movements of perpetual renewal of her research design. According to her, doing an “all-terrain” ethnography implies a capacity for geographical, methodological, thematic and theoretical mobility.
