Ethnography in Post-Franco Spain: the View of an Outsider
Keywords:
Spanish Transition, ethnographic method, politicsAbstract
The usual difficulties of doing fieldwork in a new site were compounded by two factors: the nature of the kind of anthropological information about rural Spain available outside the country; and the very limited amount of intercommunication in the public sphere concerning political issues in the early years of the Transition. The article describes the discussions taking place in anthropology at the time of the fieldwork, and proposes that a long prior period of selective repression explains the differing ways in which informants spoke of the historical past and the political present.
