Knowledge production is always local and contextual, even where it aims beyond the specific towards the general. In order to produce the best data possible, the researcher must know as much as possible about context. Part of that context she brings to the field herself. In order to produce the best possible data, the researcher should know this context as well as possible, and reflect on her pre-field autobiographical situatedness, her in-field situatedness and her post-field textual situatedness. We will conclude this book by focusing on two of the more general contextual issues that have arisen en route, namely the significance of culture and power for the relation between researcher and informant.
