摘要

这篇简短的反思围绕着这篇文章展开,“这个领域投下的长长的阴影:暴力、创伤和民族志研究者。”作者Stephen Taylor在南非一个暴力地区开始他的博士实地工作之后,大胆地详细描述了他的创伤和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)经历,应该受到赞扬。泰勒的工作是野外工作中千变万化的挑战的鲜明证据,这些挑战往往是早期职业地理学家自己承担的,这可能会损害他们的精神和身体健康。使这些挑战更加复杂的是,初出茅庐的地理学家对浸入式实地工作的准备不够充分,其次,一旦他们进入实地,就可以获得有组织的支持系统。在这些前提下,我呼吁各大学采取行动,改善他们为田野调查,特别是在发展中国家进行的田野调查准备人种学研究人员的方式。

Combating the shocks of the 'unplayful' field. Alone! – commentary to Taylor
This brief reflection is centered on the article, “The long shadows cast by the field: violence, trauma, and the ethnographic researcher.” The author, Stephen Taylor, should be commended for his bold move to detail his experiences with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which were subsequent to the commencement of his doctoral fieldwork in a violent location of South Africa. The work of Taylor is stark evidence of the kaleidoscope of challenges surrounding fieldwork that the early career geographer oftentimes bear on their own, which potentially compromise their mental and physical well-being. Compounding these challenges is the cursoriness of preparedness of fledgling geographers for immersed fieldwork, and secondly, the availability of organized support systems for such individuals, once they are in the field. On these premises, I call for action amongst universities to improve the manner in which they prepare ethnographic researchers for fieldwork, particularly those to be conducted in developing countries.
