Focusing on the unacknowledged, personal and often unconscious dimension, Sex explores
the intersection between sex and ethnography. Anthropological writing tends to focus
on the influence of status markers such as position, gender, ethnicity, and age on
fieldwork. By contrast, far less attention has been paid to how sex, sexuality, eroticism,
desire, attraction, and rejection affect ethnographic research. In the book, anthropologists
reflect on their own encounters with sex during fieldwork, revealing how attraction
and desire influence the choice of fieldwork subjects, field sites and friendships.
They also examine the resulting impact on fieldwork findings and the generation of
knowledge. Based on fieldwork in Germany, Denmark, Greece, the USA, Brazil, South
Africa, Singapore, Turkey, Israel, Morocco, and India, the contributors go beyond
the common heterosexuality/homosexuality divide to address topics which include celibacy,
polyamory and sadomasochism. This long overdue text provides perspectives from a new
generation of anthropologists and brings the debate into the 21st century. Examining
challenging and controversial issues in contemporary fieldwork, this is essential
reading for students in anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, sociology, research
methods, and ethics courses
