Abstract
The article explores concomitants of academic anthropology by discussing what lies underneath our carefully designed research plans. In the course of this, the paper highlights the importance of acknowledging the gap between expectations and realities at universities, in publishing, and fieldwork, draws attention to notions of ‘the other’ and to problematic structural conditions of our discipline, and offers suggestions for improvement.
