[Linganth] part. obs. with groups

Mon Oct 17 21:11:03 UTC 2022

Hi,

To find articles online on the topic, I would look for articles of 
people doing fieldwork among the extreme/alt-right/fasciste/neo-nazi 
movements, while not being part of it at all... Unfortunetely, the only 
article I would have to recommend on this issue (in the sense that I've 
read and enjoyed) is in French¹. But else, a quick search in this 
direction returned some references in English, in particular this one:

- Doing fieldwork among people we don't (necessarily) like
S Bangstad - Anthropology News, 2017 - Wiley Online Library

The articles citing this text seem often relevant to your demand².

Best,
Jocelyn

¹: The article is more about methodological difficulties this issue in 
this kind of situation, which is not so uncommon when doing fieldwork:
