Dear Martin, dear all,
Your query made me think about the work of some french ethnomusicologists working in the Research center CREM at the University Paris 10 and CNRS (http://crem-cnrs.fr/), in particular Victor Stoichita and Filipo Bonini Baraldi who are working with rom musicians and the way these musicians are experts in understanding which kind of music the listeners are expecting, depending on their emotional state.
I have only french bibliographical references to offer you right now, but I believe they have published in english, or at least Victor will be able to exchange with you if you contact him (http://svictor.net/):
Victor Stoichita. 2008. Fabricants d’émotion. Musique et malice dans un village tsigane de Roumanie. Nanterre : Société d’ethnologie. Coll. Hommes et musiques. Livre accompagné d’un DVD (audio, vidéo, animations interactives).
Filipo Bonini Baraldi. 2010. "Jouer aux noces puis entre soi. Le cycle de l'émotion chez les musiciens tsiganes de Transylvanie". Cahiers d'ethnomusicologie 23 (Special issue on Emotions).
On a different tone, closer to what you mentioned regarding methodological issues, yet quite useful I believe, is the book edited by Heidi Armbruster and Anna Laerke. 2008. Taking Sides. Ethics, Politics and Fieldwork in Anthropology. Berghahn.
Best,
Marie-Pierre

> I humbly ask for your recommendations on the subjects of anthropology and empathy. I am having a hard time finding work that isn't somehow directly related to health and therapy, or empathy and emotion as methodological concern, but which explores more how people employ empathic capacities in their everyday lives. My own project deals with young Tanzanian's attempts to engage with foreigners in and around the tourism industry. I would also be very excited if anyone had recommendations for how anthropologists have written about these subjects ethnographically.
