本文提供了一个基于英国的犹太人-穆斯林社区间网络的民族志嵌入式分析，以促进人类学研究，研究被视为两极分化的群体在谈判差异边界方面所做的伦理努力。这篇文章提出了两套论点。首先，它表明，有时这样的群体必须谈判不是一个，而是几个“跨越差异的边界”，并遵循不同的道德路线来驾驭这些边界，这取决于他们如何概念化这些边界。其次，它表明，在谈判不同的边界时，网络成员经常使用的技术乍一看似乎是人为的，甚至是肤浅的，因为它们建立在正式规则之上，并且/或者不包含在对参与者重要的问题上达成共识的承诺。然而，我认为，这些看似肤浅的努力仍然可以被视为一种伦理努力，这种努力是由对群体间团结的坚定承诺所支撑的，而且它们可以被最好地理解为露丝·谢尔登在她最近对犹太民族志伦理的干预中所描述的，即表面与深度之间的运动。
The article offers an ethnographically embedded analysis of a UK‐based Jewish‐Muslim inter‐community network to contribute to anthropological research into the ethical efforts that groups seen as polarized invest in negotiating boundaries of difference. The article makes two sets of arguments. First, it suggests that sometimes such groups have to negotiate not one but several ‘borders across difference’ and follow diverse ethical routes to navigate them depending upon how they conceptualize these borders. Second, it shows that in negotiating different sets of boundaries, network members often use techniques that at first glance appear to be artificial or even superficial in that they build on formal rules and/or contain no promise of achieving a consensus on issues important for the participants. However, I argue that these seemingly superficial efforts could still be seen as ethical endeavours underpinned by a strong commitment to inter‐group solidarity and that they could be best understood as what Ruth Sheldon has described in her recent intervention in the ethics of Jewish ethnography as the movement between surface and depth.
