Abstract

Based on personal experiences with collaborative tandem research, the authors in this chapter explore relations that develop between scholars in postcolonial research projects. In decolonial debates these relationships are described as friendships that have the potential to run counter to competitive and calculating logics that perpetuate inequalities and dependencies. The contribution critically engages with the ideas of friendship and argues that friendship is usually conceptualized from a Western point of view and rather tends to obfuscate power imbalances and inequalities. In this chapter the idea of camaraderie is proposed as an alternative relationship model for collaborative anthropology, as it is explicitly political and determined by engagement in a common project.
