The course seeks to refine the understanding of certain concepts key to understanding and learning from experience: ethnographic fieldwork, interpretation, voice and articulation, transference and countertransference, and the intersubjective third. We ask how the experience of fieldwork itself can lead to certain ways of thinking and knowing.

This course explores how to learn from experience through ethnographic methods. It investigates theories of experience that stress its relational or intersubjective qualities. Drawing parallels between clinic psychoanalytic practice (transference between the analyst and patient and the fieldwork encounter (transference between anthropologist and her interlocutors), it focuses on experience-near, face-to-face forms of learning -- conscious and unconscious messages in talking and bodily communication. Finally, it explores how one might learn about the other by cultivating an “intersubjective third.”
