My research was centered on a handful of interfaith organizations and groups who worked together from across different faiths to build a community of respect, education, and hope. Using the framework of the anthropology of the good (Robbins, 2013), I analyzed how their faith-informed moral perspectives shaped their work and determination to spread peace despite the many obstacles they faced. Their hopes and fears for the future informed their work in the present. Using a variety of ethnographic vignettes, I highlight the threads of “hope” and “the good” in my participants' experiences. As such, this piece reflects core themes of my research and worldviews of my participants, while also providing an avenue of exploring how we do fieldwork, how we decide what is “relevant,” and how we build relationships of trust with our participants. As an emerging anthropologist and postgraduate student, these elements were tightly bound in my mind and this piece demonstrates how, in moving through fieldwork and analysis, these different facets of research coalesce and help to mutually constitute our ethnographic work.</p>","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"49 1","pages":"49-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anhu.12511","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140441177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anthropologists are trained to observe and analyze the “other”, whether individuals or groups, situated within the limited borders of space and time without judging their subjects' moral conduct in terms of their own ethical norms. That prescriptive guideline has been called into question in Geertz's iconic account of revisiting his old fields in Indonesia and Morocco, claiming that it was not only the ethnographer’s field sites that had changed but also the ethnographer himself and the discipline of anthropology. Geertz, one leading voice of anthropology, nevertheless adhered to “normative” ethnographic reporting. The present account is informed by the author's decades of ethnographic research, including, at a few critical moments, observations on the complex Israeli national saga. But—unlike my earlier ethnographic reports—the following captures the perspective and interpretations of the anthropologist as informant, that is, taking the role of an engaged Israeli. Note also that my political-ideological orientation is considered as on the left of Israeli politics.</p>","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"49 2","pages":"105-115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anhu.12506","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139597171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
