Dr Salma Siddique explores infidelity in fieldwork (Coffey 1999) and how we can reconcile our traumatic past into the present by bringing the self into the field of emotional (dis)engagement as part of the Research Seminar Series.
This is an opportunity for exploration of how we may find ourselves during our fieldwork. It can reveal personal struggles in the spaces of passionate detachment (Haraway 1988; Kuhn, 1982) and demystify processes of fieldwork’s analytical perspective. Dr Siddique's writing blurs events and incidents that have influenced a therapeutic vision which has been revealed in clinical supervision. It reveals the insight and perspective and explores what those terms might do and what they might point to. Insight might suggest the perception of something that was there before it was revealed, whereas in writing ethnography it could be something that was both ‘a discovery and a making’.
A version of this narrative was presented as the invited department of social anthropology seminar in Dec 2018 in Blindern, Eilert Sundt's house, University of Oslo.
