It highlights fieldwork and ethnography as relational processes of encountering the so-called ‘other’ (i.e. the non-self ) and focuses on the advantages of using emotion diaries as complementary technique of data construction in addition to data emerging from more conservative methods. In what is defined as empirical affect montage, I suggest to juxtapose ontologically different data sets (including the researcher’s affects and emotions) when representing the experience, behaviour and talk of others.
