Prendersi ‘gentilmente’ sul serio. Un’intima curvatura riflessiva sull’etnografia nella lotta e la co-costruzione di intenzionalità sul campo by Sabina Tosi Cambini

“…This contribution applies a reflexive approach to my diversified fieldworks carried out in some contexts that policies, social sciences and civil society call ‘marginal’ – albeit moved by very different perspectives and intentions –, bringing out the demand of people towards the anthropologist to be able to develop a ‘gentle’ relationship, capable of ‘culturally’ taking into account their biographies and their social ‘position’ without trapping them either in the first or in the second; and, therefore, investigating the meso and macro structural aspects of this positioning as well as their search for a 'good life'. …”
