  • Descrição: Fieldwork is a foundational process of reflection and reworking the professional identity of the anthropologist. The ongoing reflexive process provides a hermeneutic whereby the anthropologist recognizes omissions and silences—failures to draw generalizations implicit at the time of the fieldwork. Initial fieldwork in linguistic anthropology among the Cree of northern Alberta is the baseline from which the author’s fieldwork has moved from surface description of cultural patterns and behaviors to their underlying ontologies and relationalities, through an increasingly self-conscious commitment to collaborative research directed by community aspirations and agendas. In retrospect, parallel work in the history of Americanist (Boasian) anthropology integrates the insights of long-term fieldwork into rethinking the nature of history and how continuities from the past follow a consistent albeit nonlinear trajectory, with each apparent paradigm shift containing the seeds of its own becoming otherwise. Our present theories and interpretations are no exception.
