AO: Cerwonka and Malki focus on Cerwonka’s experience and feelings in the field, turning the gaze on her. They focus less on Malkki and do not explicitly write about their collaboration in the book project. They appear to suggest that a good collaborator responds to emails and spends a lot of time and effort writing up and sharing thoughts with the other. They definitely focus on how the collaboration grows and stabilizes over time. (As evidenced by the book as the ultimate pinacle of their email correspondences!).
“More important, good social research clearly demands a highly developed, ceaseless, daily engagement with ethics as a process—an engagement that far exceeds the requirements of currently existing “ethics committees” and “human-subjects protocols” on university campuses. It is increasingly clear that the conventional understanding of eth- ics as a code—rather than as a process, as we see it here—needs to be critically examined.”
