TI - „Personify non-governmental organisation” in Kibera – between fieldwork and activism
AB - The article describes ethnographic research conducted by the author in Kibera, inhabited by poorer inhabitants of Nairobi. Its objective is to present the relations between research and activism in methodological and ethical sphere within the framework of a small development project. The idea was conceptualized on the basis of examples provided by Nancy Scheper-Hughes and Tomasz Rakowski. They were usefull in the formulation of objectives of engagement – methodological and ethical, the way of implementation of the idea – switching roles between a researcher and an activist, and identification of risks and dillemmas related to the implementaton of the project. Contemporary anthropologists more often than not do not ask themselves the question ‘if’ but ‘how’ to get involved, while taking into consideration all consequences of this approach.
