在本章中，我通过两个论点来探讨研究人员在进行国际田野调查时的流动性和不流动性之间的纠缠关系。首先，我认为，研究人员的运动越来越受到挑战，在许多地方的研究人员被拒绝访问，并限制他们的流动性。其次，我认为，研究人员的流动性也必须考虑在异质性和细微差别的方式，并在关键的流动性研究的研究带来的对话。因此，研究人员需要更仔细地考虑的手段，某些运动和某些移动的人体已经特权。研究人员必须更批判性地思考他们自己的纠缠的流动性在做研究的过程中，这反过来又如何塑造现场site.This章借鉴了我自己在约旦和以色列-巴勒斯坦的实地考察经验。我反思了我被拒绝进入以色列-巴勒斯坦的经历。我探讨了这对我自己的亲密和情感的影响，以及这对我作为一名研究生研究员开始我的第一个持续的海外实地考察的影响。我反思了我的实地考察地点搬到约旦，并探讨了研究人员用来研究他们无法访问的网站的策略，说明了地缘政治冲突背景下该领域的流动性。然后，我探讨了我如何开发一个新的项目，围绕流动性和步行作为方法在约旦，以及这是如何与我所经历的不动。总之，本章讨论了进入实地考察的途径，研究时的情感体现，以及在国际实地考察中引导我自己和他人的流动性和不流动性。
In this chapter I explore the entangled relationship between researcher mobility and immobility while undertaking international fieldwork by making two arguments. First, I contend that the movements of researchers are increasingly being challenged in many locations as researchers are denied access and have their mobilities curtailed. Second, I argue that researcher mobilities must also be considered in heterogenous and nuanced ways and brought into conversation with research in critical mobility studies. As a result, researchers need to consider more carefully the means by which certain movements and certain moving human bodies have been privileged. Researchers must think more critically about their own entangled mobilities in the process of doing research and how this in turn shapes the field site.This chapter draws upon my own fieldwork experiences in Jordan and Israel-Palestine. I reflect on my experience of being denied access to Israel-Palestine. I explore how this had intimate and emotional impacts on myself and how this impacted me as a postgraduate researcher embarking on my first sustained period of overseas fieldwork. I reflect on the move of my field site to Jordan and explore the tactics researchers are using to research sites they cannot access, illustrating the fluidity of the field in the context of geopolitical conflict. I then explore how I developed a new project, centered around mobility and walking as method in Jordan, and how this related to the immobility I experienced. In summation this chapter discusses access to the field site, embodied emotions while researching, and navigating my own and others’ mobility and immobility during international fieldwork.
