Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the "ethnography of violence," the anthropologist and informant must have a relationship of mutual responsibility. This means that both parties are accountable for the safety and wellbeing of each other, and that both are aware of the risks and benefits of their relationship. This relationship should promote trust, collaboration, and respect, as well as a shared commitment to addressing the root causes of violence. The other choices (autonomy, self-preservation, respect, and mutual advantage) do not adequately capture the complexity of this relationship, nor do they address the ethical concerns that arise when studying violence.
