The essential attribute of socio-cultural anthropology and ethnography – fieldwork – is a process that interferes in the intimate lives of the population under observation, and that of the researcher as well. This study reconceptualises the issue of sexuality and gender, as they are for the individual the primary characteristic which determines a researcher’s position in field. The article highlights the discrepancy between the way fieldwork techniques are taught, and the real practice of fieldwork. One solution could entail relaxing methodological formalism, which may be in practice unachievable, and the removal of the taboo surrounding the whole issue. Different strategies for dealing with the researchers’ own sexuality and gender in the field, and their accompanying adaptation to the situation, are considered. Attention is paid to the issue of sexual violence in fieldwork., Gabriela Fatková., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Let T, T′ be weak contractions (in the sense of Sz.-Nagy and Foia¸s), m, m′ the minimal functions of their C0 parts and let d be the greatest common inner divisor of m, m′ . It is proved that the space I(T, T′ ) of all operators intertwining T, T′ is reflexive if and only if the model operator S(d) is reflexive. Here S(d) means the compression of the unilateral shift onto the space H 2 ⊖dH2 . In particular, in finite-dimensional spaces the space I(T, T′ ) is reflexive if and only if all roots of the greatest common divisor of minimal polynomials of T, T′ are simple. The paper is concluded by an example showing that quasisimilarity does not preserve hyperreflexivity of I(T, T′ ).
