we find? Not precisely what Reynolds describes in this diary, but we have this raw data on the basis of which we can begin to ask what and how things have changed. Make no mistake, this may be a field diary (which sounds so informal), but this diary is data. Much of my recent work has centred on how anthropologists make available — or not — our field data (Cliggett 2015, 2020). Over the last two decades there has been growing interest by funders, indigenous groups and social scientists, including some anthropologists, in the preservation and sharing of anthropological (and other disciplinary) field data (NSF and Wenner Gren 2009). Despite the interest by and pressure from such groups, anthropologists have been cautious at best. The publication of Pamela Reynolds’ field diary could be a turning point. I suspect her interest in publishing the diary was not necessarily to contribute to these new efforts towards data availability, but I know that those of us who have been working towards more data transparency and sharing will celebrate this book as a landmark example. That we have access to primary source data in published form means that we can, indeed, look at change over time (without simply chancing into senior scholars’ legacy datasets, as I did). Reynolds is courageous in allowing us access to her personal experience but, most importantly, to the field diary as a form of data.

记录莫拉地区奇腾格的日常经历:环境,童工和汤加文化习俗

我们发现?雷诺兹在日记中所描述的不完全是,而是我们拥有了这些原始数据,我们可以在此基础上开始询问事物发生了什么以及如何发生了变化。没错,这可能是一本野外日记(听起来很非正式),但这本日记是数据。我最近的大部分工作都集中在人类学家如何提供(或不提供)我们的实地数据上(Cliggett 2015,2020)。在过去的二十年中,资助者,土著群体和社会科学家(包括一些人类学家)对保存和共享人类学(和其他学科)实地数据的兴趣与日俱增(NSF和Wenner Gren 2009)。尽管受到此类团体的关注和压力,人类学家充其量也保持谨慎。帕梅拉·雷诺兹(Pamela Reynolds)野外日记的出版可能是一个转折点。我怀疑她对出版日记的兴趣不一定有助于为数据可用性所做的这些新努力,但我知道我们中那些一直致力于提高数据透明度和共享程度的人会庆祝这本书作为一个具有里程碑意义的例子。我们可以访问已发布形式的主要原始数据,这意味着我们的确可以观察一段时间内的变化(就像我所做的那样,不必像其他学者那样去研究高级学者的遗留数据集)。雷诺兹勇于让我们获得她的个人经历,但最重要的是,我们可以将野外日记作为数据形式使用。我们可以访问已发布形式的主要原始数据,这意味着我们的确可以观察一段时间内的变化(就像我所做的那样,不必像其他学者那样去研究高级学者的遗留数据集)。雷诺兹勇于让我们获得她的个人经历,但最重要的是,我们可以将野外日记作为数据形式使用。我们可以访问已发布形式的主要原始数据,这意味着我们的确可以观察一段时间内的变化(就像我所做的那样,不必像其他学者那样去研究高级学者的遗留数据集)。雷诺兹勇于让我们获得她的个人经历,但最重要的是,我们可以将野外日记作为数据形式使用。
