SHORT ABSTRACT
As data producers, anthropologists and other ethnographers deal with a
responsibility that not only regards their field(s), but potentially
also regards society in a general way. This panel aims to contribute to
the debate on ethnographic archives.
LONG ABSTRACT
Ethnographies
are registered by several ways, and there are many ways to archive
collected data. Not rarely, anthropologists analyses their own archives
more or less organized, but they share their results only scarcely. By
the same token, only seldom do anthropologists talk about what they wish
to do with their fieldnotes, field images, drawings, maps, or even audio
files. Following an old idea from Rojer Sanjek, who organized a panel
about fieldnotes (Sanjek 1990), as data producers, anthropologists and
other ethnographers deal with a responsibility that not only regards
their field(s), but potentially also regards society in a general way.
Ethnographic data produced in the present can be future historic
archives, that is, ethnographic archives can be regarded not only as
academical heritage but also as cultural heritage. Therefore, this panel
aims to contribute to the debate on ethnographic archives from a set of
questions, including but not limited to:
- What uses can we make from
fieldnotes?
- How do we organize fieldnotes and other field materials?
- How should we organize digital files?
- To what point should
fieldwork be sharable?
- From museums to ethnographic archives, what
are the different national realities?
