Revisiting ethnographic data: bridging the boundaries between discourse and reality The strategies and stances of a woman in the field

Résumé

This article deals with the stance and the ethics of the ethnographer in the field. It is written by an ethnographer reflecting on the fieldwork she conducted in an Andalusian village ten years ago and by a linguist who criticizes the stance the young woman ethnographer adopted and the impact it had on the interpretation of native discourses compared to the reality observed. After presenting the context of the place and the methodology used, this article provides some results from the study of intimate gendered relationships in two generations before and after Franco. We then revisit the ethnographic data through a mirrored discussion, highlighting the possible gaps between discourse and reality for both the informants and the researcher.
