It is rare to hear about the gendered risks of field work. My experiences with sexual violence with key informants forced me to assume a variety of defensive behaviors, which ran counter to the ways that scholarly discussions of methods tend to emphasize the importance of reducing distance and shifting power away from the researcher in a cross-cultural context. By considering gendered risks, I question the extent to which an idealized male researcher is still viewed as the archetype from which methods are conceptualized and practiced, and the implications are then discussed. Key Words: distance, gendered risks, immersed research, power, sexual violence., ,Raro es escuchar sobre riesgos asociados con género en el trabajo de campo. Mis experiencias sobre violencia sexual con informantes claves me obligaron a asumir una variedad de comportamientos defensivos, que van en contravía del modo como las discusiones eruditas sobre métodos tienden a destacar en un contexto transcultural la importancia de reducir la distancia y despojar de poder al investigador. Al considerar los riesgos asociados con género, pongo en tela de juicio la extensión con la que un idealizado investigador masculino todavía sea visto como el arquetipo a partir del cual se conceptualicen y apliquen los métodos, y después se discutan las implicaciones. Palabras clave: distancia, riesgos por género, investigación compenetrada, poder, violencia sexual.
