“…Katz (2019: 23) notes how the research participants form an image of the researcher, detailing the person the researcher is (cf. also Hayden, 2009). The clues are taken from the researcher's appearance and questions they pose, as well as their general behaviour in the field.…”

“…In this article, I take part in the discussion on the subjectivity and self of the ethnographer (e.g. Coffey, 1999; Hayden, 2009; Luvaas, 2019). The tension between subjectivity and objectivity has always been an issue to deal with in ethnography (Clifford, 1986: 13).…”

“…Here, I aim to go beyond the agentive level in researcher/researched relations. As Hayden (2009: 97) notes, emphasis is usually placed on the agentive action of the researcher ‘to the near exclusion of anyone else’ in methodological explorations concentrating on the actions of the researcher. However, the subject and object of research may also be understood to be mutually constituted (Hayden, 2009: 86).…”

However, the subject and object of research may also be understood to be mutually constituted (Hayden, 2009: 86). Hayden (2009) argues that the contemporary understanding of the nature of knowledge as situated has resulted in the view of the self as intersubjective and dialogical and proposes that researchers act as signs to research participants, which the participants interpret and react to.…”

“…Davies, 2000). Despite the decentring of the subject in knowledge production, the researching self remains, according to Hayden (2009: 87), agentive and isolable. I step aside from this agentive positioning by analysing how different elements impact the constitution and creation of the ethnographic subject.…”

This article examines the dynamic process constituting the researcher-subject in ethnographic fieldwork. Applying the theoretical framework of AN Whitehead AN (1964) The Concept of Nature: The Tarnell Lectures Delivered in Trinity College in 1919. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, Whitehead AN (1929/1985) Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology. New York: Free Press, I argue that the ethnographical researching subject is the outcome of fieldwork. I analyse field encounters and illustrate how the ethnographer is constituted differently depending on the field. The field encounter consists of multiple, sometimes overlapping, entities. The entities present in the field encounter may stem from the past illuminating how endurance and change simultaneously operate in the constitution of the ethnographer. Following Whitehead’s thinking, there is no separation between experience and datum. This emphasises how even in the process of knowing the subject and object of research are entwined. This article is a conceptual analysis of selected empirical cases illustrating the emergence of the researcher-subject in fieldwork encounters. I base my analysis on cases from four ethnographic fieldworks I have conducted.

________________________________________________________________This paper reflects on processes of memory-and history-making at the Elihu Akin House, a historic site in a New England coastal village. Since the late 18th century, the house has been a place of dwelling and deliberate recollection. Recent archaeological excavations, a 1922 silent movie, and an Akin son's 1778 letter represent multiple media, periods, and perspectives, for which the house serves as a touchstone. These three occasions comprise an archive of nostalgia. Remembrance is repeatedly filtered through and entangled with in-process experiences. The material and emotional are mutually constituted as the house is reinvested with significance. Understanding these processes has implications as the site is developed into a heritage center striving to present not only local and regional history, but also the methods and challenges of heritage management. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: Cet article est une réflexion sur les processus de mémoire et d'histoire à la maison de Elihu Akin, un site historique dans une village cô tier de Nouvelle Angleterre. Depuis la fin du 18eme siècle, la maison a été en endroit d'habitations et de souvenirs. Des fouilles archéologiques récentes, un film muet de 1922, et une lettre de 1778 du fils de Akin représentent de nombreux médias, périodes et perspectives, pour lesquels la maison sert de référence. Ces trois évènements sont une archive de nostalgie. Le souvenir est sans cesse filtré et empêtré dans des expériences en cours. Le matériel et l'émotionnel sont mutuellement constitués alors que la maison est réinvestie d'une manière importante. La compréhension de ces processus a des conséquences alors que le site est développé en un centre d'héritage essayant non seulement de présenter l'histoire locale et régionale, mais aussi les méthodes et défis de la gestion de l'héritage. ________________________________________________________________Resumen: Este trabajo reflexiona sobre el proceso de recuperació n de la memoria y la historia en Elihu Akin House, un yacimiento histó rico de una ciudad costera de New England. Desde finales del siglo XVIII, la casa ha actuado como residencia y recuerdo deliberado. Las recientes excavaciones arqueoló gicas, una película muda de 1922 y una carta del hijo de Akin de 1778 constituyen distintos medios, periodos y perspectivas, para los que la casa sirve de piedra de toque. Estas tres manifestaciones incluyen un archivo de nostalgia. Los recursos se filtran continuamente y se entremezclan con las experiencias en curso. Lo material y lo emocional se conforman mutuamente a medida que la casa se reviste de significado. Comprender estos procesos tiene implicaciones, ya que el yacimiento se convierte en un centro histó rico que se esfuerza por presentar no solo la historia local y regional, sino también los métodos y los retos de la gestió n patrimonial._________________________________________________________________________________________________...
