Popis: In recent years there has been a steady increase in attention paid by anthropologists to themselves and their field relationships as significant factors in the selection of research problems, the collection of data, and the interpretation of it. The psychological stresses and gratifications of the fieldworker are being recognized as important subjects for professional consideration. In this paper, the historical process of the emergence of self-consciousness within social and cultural anthropology is explained in terms of (1) an increasing personal involvement of ethnographers with their subjects, (2) the "democratization" of anthropology, (3) multiple field tudies of the same culture, and (4) assertions of independence by native studies of the same culture, and (4) assertations of independence by native peoples.
