Our aim with this issue is to provide a starting point for an intensive conversation about the
flexibility and systematization of the methodology of research and its specific challenges in highly contested fields like far-right and militant Islamist movements. The contributions to this special section
discuss issues related to the moral, emotional and ethical challenges, that anthropologists have faced
in conducting research in such highly contested fields. They offer more textured views of dilemmas
and challenges in highly contested fields through careful reflection on their ethnographic encounters.
They all deem it necessary to position their work within recent debates, in webs of the production of
knowledge, embedded in the power relations and complexities in their respective fields and within the
discipline, albeit in very different ways.
