Abstract

Artiklen behandler temaer relevante for forskere, der laver etnografisk arbejde i empiriske kontekster defineret af en høj grad af kropslig aktivitet. Der reflekteres over hvilken type materiale brugen af kroppen i feltarbejde kan lede til, og hvilke overvejelser og begrænsninger det medfører, herunder overvejelser over betydningen af som kvinde at lave feltarbejde i et mandsdomineret felt. Artiklen illustrerer samlet set hvordan et deltagende feltarbejde i den danske hær muliggjorde ikke bare kropsliggjorte erfaringer med militær disciplin, men også afgørende empirisk materiale om hvordan professionelle idealer og kønnede normer konstitueres gennem det militære subjekts krop.
