摘要

这篇 "民族志伦理 "特刊导言分析了人类学,尤其是人类学的主要研究方法--民族志所面临的危机。它强调了一种过时的、狭隘的伦理模式是如何在对诉讼的恐惧和对人种学研究的简单化看法的强化下,威胁到这种方法的探索性所必需的自发性和调查自由的。参与讨论的人士探讨了从妥协到对抗的各种策略,以应对伦理方面的官僚监督、对田野工作可预测性的不切实际的期望、合法的后殖民主义批判的影响以及对研究自由的资金限制所带来的挑战。他们以不同的方式探讨了官僚程序的随意性以及以伦理监督为幌子对人类学研究的潜在扼杀。导言以人类学及相关领域的丰富经验为基础,呼吁大家保持对伦理的敏感性,同时对利用不恰当的科学和伦理概念来监督田野工作的企图提出质疑。

Introduction to ethics in ethnography: The practical politics of predictability

This introduction to the ‘Ethics in ethnography’ special issue analyzes a crisis facing anthropology and especially ethnography, its primary research method. It highlights how an outdated and parochial ethics model, strengthened by fears of litigation and simplistic views of ethnographic research, threatens the spontaneity and investigative freedom necessary to the method's exploratory character. Contributors to the discussion explore the spectrum of strategies – from compromise to confrontation – for addressing the challenges posed by the bureaucratic oversight of ethics, unrealistic expectations of predictability in fieldwork, the impact of legitimate post-colonial critique and funding constraints on research freedom. They variously address the arbitrariness of bureaucratic procedures and the potential stifling of anthropological enquiry under the guise of ethical oversight. Drawing on the range of experience in anthropology and related fields represented here, the introduction opens the collection with a call to maintain ethical sensitivity while challenging attempts to police fieldwork using inappropriate conceptions of science and ethics.
