Abstract

The chapter is written in the genre of retrospective autoethnography: the reflexive narrative is intended to demonstrate how the research position has changed depending on the events taking place and the accumulated experience. The text is structured as follows. First, a general description of the fields and projects, as well as the object of research, is proposed. The following is a collective image of typical pains and failures in an interview situation. Then the issues of entering the field, the formation of expert knowledge and status, relationships with different types of informants are consistently revealed and the interview process is deconstructed. The chapter ends with a discussion on gender and practices through the prism of research experience.
