这篇文章通过加强对性别和情感在研究过程中的作用的认识,为社会科学中的反身性转向做出了贡献。研究的主要工具,即民族志学者本身,可能会改变正在研究的东西,也可能会反过来改变(Golde,1970)。妇女可能会在男性主导的环境中触发特定的行为,例如“男孩赛车手”文化。这包括“性骚扰”和“性别歧视待遇”等与性别有关的行为(Gurney,1985)。民族志学者必须采取反身性的方法,并在民族志中定位自己,同时认识到他们的社会地位对与被研究者和研究本身的互动的影响。意识到这些相互作用并不会破坏数据,而是承认研究人员和被研究人员嵌入了研究之中。因此,他们塑造了民族志,同时也反过来塑造了民族志。
This article contributes to the reflexive turn within the social sciences by arguing for enhanced recognition of the role of gender and emotions in the research process. The chief instrument of research, the ethnographer herself, may alter that which is being studied and may be changed in turn (Golde, 1970). Women may trigger off specific behaviours in male-dominated settings such as the `boy racer' culture. This includes the gender-related behaviours of `sexual hustling' and `sexist treatment' (Gurney, 1985). Ethnographers must adopt a reflexive approach and locate themselves within the ethnography while recognizing the influence of their social position on interactions with the researched and the research itself. An awareness of these interactions does not undermine the data but instead acknowledges that the researcher and the researched are embedded within the research. Hence, they shape the ethnography while also being shaped in turn.
