‘Cherchez le Chercheur’ – No. I While the ethnographic fieldworker is famous for producing countless photographic impressions of his own field, the documentary evidences of his presence and involvement in the ethnographic process are rather scarce. Hence, in this upcoming ‘Cherchez le Chercheur’ series on Fridays, I will present photographs which focus on one essential element of the fieldwork setting: the researcher himself.

The pictures stem from my fieldwork project carried out in Kyebi, Akyem Abuakwa (Eastern Region/Ghana, Jan. - Aug. 2002).

Don’t miss next week’s picture!! I will provide the counter-picture (i.e. the researcher’s view) of the ceremonial scene above.
