The ethnographic relationship during fieldwork and at home

Abstract

Feminist ethnography is characterized by a particular ethnographic relationship, where affection and trust play a central role. The article analyses the way these are developed and processed, while discussing how we 'deal' with the anxieties and sufferings of our interlocutors both when we are face-to-face during fieldwork and when we review notes and interviews at the desk, in relation to research on femicides.
