Abstract | This article aims to explore the methodological and analytical benefits of mobilizing field diaries when doing fieldwork research. Fieldwork necessitates spending months or years living and sharing the lives of those we are studying. It is thus about interactions and access, about emotions and power relations. Field diaries are particularly insightful in capturing the social interactions between the researcher and the informants, which inevitably impact fieldwork, data collection and the research results. In this paper, I argue that field diaries, if they provide opportunities for developing reflexive analysis, offer possibilities to incorporating participants' points of view in our research process as well. They also constitute avenues to investigate the social structure of the community under study. The present reflection derives from the researcher experience of using field diaries when being back home from fieldwork. [Note: The page range (345-356) shown is incorrect.
