Reflections

While doing an extraordinary kind of fieldwork, the researchers experienced and actively questioned their position as `academic visitors‘. As actors respectively representatives of established institutions of the ‘Global North’, it seems necessary to critically analyze one’s own constructions and deconstructions. These spontaneous pieces of self-expression seek to highlight the debate on a par with all of the actors, including those of the ‘Global South’. Voice notes, conversations and photographs are used to critically reflect the constructed figures and their impact on identity concepts. Instead of othering different cultural groups, the researchers have attempted rather to other and objectify their own incorporated and expressed culture.
