What happens when an otherwise objective ethnographer gets too close to his
or her work? It’s always been an unwritten rule that sexual relationships in
the field are taboo. Taboo: Sex, Identity and Erotic Subjectivity in
Anthropological Fieldwork by Don Kullick & Margaret Willson (Routledge,
£13.99, ISBN 0 415 08819 4) is no kiss-and-tell bonkbuster, but a
fascinating collection of essays from right across the sexual spectrum which
breaks the silence on “forbidden” friendships in a variety of study
environments.
