Paperback. Given the anthropological focus on ethnography as a kind of deep immersion, the interview poses theoretical and methodological challenges for the discipline. This volume explores those challenges and argues that the interview should be seen as a special, productive site of ethnographic encounter, a site of a very particular and important kind of knowing. In a range of social contexts and cultural settings, contributors show how the interview is experienced and imagined as a kind of space within which personal, biographic and social cues and norms can be explored and interrogated. The interview possesses its own authenticity, thereforetrue to the persons involved and true to their moment of interactionwhilst at the same time providing information on human capacities and proclivities that is generalizable beyond particular social and cultural contexts. The interview creates a context of interaction with a particular authenticity to experience. Contributors explore how the interview is experienced as a particular kind of knowing within which personal, biographic, and social norms are explored and interrogated, providing direction and awareness for future encounters.
