Abstract

This article focuses on the intergenerational gifts and relationships that have structured my experience of the flows between home and the field in order to highlight the deeply intersubjective and relational aspects of fieldwork. It considers the shifting technologies of reflection—the diverse forms of field-writing that I produced at different stages as intertextual mediations of my fieldworlds—present in an archive chronicling twenty-five years of study and fieldwork in South India. Excavating this archive—which includes traditional fieldnotes, handwritten letters, creative essays, emails, voice memos and visual fieldnotes—has sharpened my awareness of the value of analyzing fieldwork experiences longitudinally and offers rich glimpses of everyday religion and gendered social relations. These materials underscore the interpenetrations of home and field, life and death, and self and other and prompt me to reaffirm my commitment to centering the crucial relationships that develop in these contexts in my scholarship, teaching and mentoring.

这篇文章的重点是代际礼物和关系，这些礼物和关系构成了我对家庭和田野之间流动的体验，以突出田野调查的深层次主体间和关系方面。它考虑了不断变化的反思技术——我在不同阶段创作的各种形式的田野写作，作为我田野世界的互文中介——存在于一个记录了南印度25年研究和田野调查的档案中。挖掘这个档案——包括传统的田野调查笔记、手写信件、创意文章、电子邮件、语音备忘录和视觉田野调查笔记——提高了我对纵向分析田野调查经历的价值的认识，并提供了对日常宗教和性别社会关系的丰富一瞥。这些材料强调了家庭与领域、生与死、自我与他人的相互渗透，并促使我重申我的承诺，即在我的学术、教学和指导中，将在这些背景下发展的关键关系放在中心。

期刊介绍： Fieldwork in Religion (FIR) is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal seeking engagement between scholars carrying out empirical research in religion. It will consider articles from established scholars and research students. The purpose of Fieldwork in Religion is to promote critical investigation into all aspects of the empirical study of contemporary religion. The journal is interdisciplinary in that it is not limited to the fields of anthropology and ethnography. Fieldwork in Religion seeks to promote empirical study of religion in all disciplines: religious studies, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, psychology, folklore, or cultural studies. A further important aim of Fieldwork in Religion is to encourage the discussion of methodology in fieldwork either through discrete articles on issues of methodology or by publishing fieldwork case studies that include methodological challenges and the impact of methodology on the results of empirical research.
