The special section "Fieldwork Confessionals" published in the American Anthropologist journal examines a category in ethnography that involves moments of partial disclosure and conditional revelations made by interlocutors during fieldwork. The introduction discusses the term "confession" and its significance as moments of critical co-production and thickened intersubjectivity and gives an overview over the section's contributions.
