title = "(Re)Searching for Persons in Practice: Field-based Methods for Critical Psychological Practice Research",
abstract = "This article explores the degree to which anthropological field work can contribute toconstructively reconfigure approaches to the critical psychological study of persons inpractice. We argue that a line of development within German/Danish critical psychologicalpractice research ought to be consistent with a development of the criticalpsychological conception of subjects as persons in practice. Via an examination ofanthropological notions of the field and discussions of concrete research projects inNigeria and Denmark, the article considers what it means to appropriate field workmethods to the critical psychological practice research tradition of studying subjects.The paper shows how the anthropological clarification of the socio-political contextsof subjects' lives qualifies the study of persons in practice. We also warn of thedangers of predefining and delimiting the field to such an extent that research subjectsare rendered one-of-a-kind rather than persons in practice.",
