Abstract

Peter Hervik: Don Iz’ Stomach Aches.

Shared Social Experience and Co-

Existing Reflexivities

This article delimits a locus of study

centered on the notion of shared social experience

which draws on the author’s

fieldwork among the Mayas of Yucatan in

Mexico. Shared social experience concems

the conscious identity of the ethnographer,

the nature of relationships with local informants,

and his or her willingness to be enganged

in the lived experince of native actors.

Only if we engage ourselves direetly

in the practical and emotional concems of

others in the field can we demystify subjectivity

and gain insight into other reflexivities

and reflexivities in their interactional

mode.
