This article analyses the challenges posed by carrying out ethnography with migrants experiencing mental distress and living in conditions of multiple marginality (social and existential). Drawing on the notion of crisis, I consider the experience of disorder as an ethnographic object reflecting the intersection between the individual and the collective. This article examines how ethnographic practice can be applied to, and is altered by, the study of these experiences, asking: How are we, especially as first-time fieldworkers, affected by unsettlingencounters? How do we react and respond to the crises of others? What use can we make of our own experiences of crises by developing new ways of practising fieldwork?

走向危机的民族志

本文分析了对遭受精神痛苦和生活在多重边缘（社会和存在）条件下的移民进行民族志研究所带来的挑战。借鉴危机的概念，我将无序的体验视为反映个人与集体之间交集的民族志对象。本文探讨了民族志实践如何应用于这些经验的研究并被这些经验的研究改变，并提出问题：我们，尤其是作为第一次田野工作者，如何受到令人不安的遭遇的影响？我们如何应对和应对他人的危机？通过开发实践田野工作的新方法，我们可以如何利用我们自己的危机经验？
