Problem: This chapter reflects on the funny predicament of being perceived as a viable husband for local women in Mangareva, in addition to returning readers to the serious dangers of fieldwork introduced in previous chapters. It also elaborates on some of the general nuanced knowledge that can be gleaned from attending to the everyday predicaments of fieldwork. These anecdotes serve not only to highlight the hazards of fieldwork and to highlight the fieldworker as an embodied, practically situated, socially embedded person with respect to the individualized pragmatic or psychological challenges of being there, but to set up a broader tension between the kinds of personal crises that characterize the predicaments of fieldwork with the sorts of persistent crises that draw many anthropologists to the field in the first place.
