Field Work Bibliography for Social Anthropology

1968
Revision in Preparation
September 13, 1999
(Any critical comments and suggestions for additions
and deletions would be greatly appreciated.)
G. N. Appell

INTRODUCTION

The entries in this bibliography are somewhat like a troop of headless horsemen, riding off in all directions at once. There are few universally applicable field work methods and techniques. Instead one’s field methods depend on the nature of the problem being investigated and the field situation itself. Therefore, they should be so tailored to fit such goals and contingencies. Familiarity with what others have done, of course, facilitates this process.

In general, this bibliography is ethnographically oriented with an emphasis on social anthropology. As such it only lightly touches on field techniques and methods in the new rapidly developing fields of semiotics, cross-cultural psychology, emotions, kinesthesics, medical anthropology, network analysis, political anthropology, gender studies, economic anthropology, etc.

This should be corrected. And any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
