This chapter looks at the politics of representation and the epistemologies of locations in attempting to articulate a nonuniversalizing feminist methodology that goes beyond colonialist representations of "Third World women". It discusses the anthropological discourses on rethinking the project of ethnographic fieldwork and the politics of ethnographic writing, feminist discourses on, and critiques of, canonical ways of knowing and dominant epistemologies, and sociological discourses on feminist methodologies and critiques of male stream social science research. Despite the overlapping areas of concern in these disciplinary discourses, they have by and large not been involved in an interdisciplinary dialogue. The chapter draws on the experiences of author in the fieldwork and attempts to deconstruct a mixture of writing genres. Utilizing narrative, interpretive, and reflexive modes, the chapter examines the fieldwork encounters and describes the author's own background for their theoretical and epistemic implications
