In the violent and closed contexts for fieldwork-based research discussed in this book, shaped additionally by an international intervention of some form, questions of distance and closeness between researchers and researched arise in different forms. Contributions to this part of the book highlight the different nuances and constant negotiations around cultural distance and closeness, the insider– outsider binary, and different (performances of) identities in the field; they explore distances researchers create themselves through their own interventions into a specific context, by means of over-research of some people and issues at the cost of a lack of attention to other people and issues; and they discuss the challenges of doing intervention-related fieldwork in situations in which direct access to the field is restrained, be it due to security concerns or because the authorities of the host countries control foreigners’ access to (parts of) their territory, thereby creating a physical distance from the field. The research underpinning the chapters took place in the Yemeni capital Sana’a in a situation of deteriorating security, among over-und under-researched groups in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, as embedded research with the UN mission in Darfur (Sudan), and in a collaboration between a Northern and a Burmese team on an arts-based research in Myanmar's Kachin and Rakhine states.
