Abstract

<p>　This article narrates a ‘long-term relationship' between an anthropologist and the people in their research field from the local people's memories.</p> <p>　Late professor Tadahiko Hara had conducted his fieldwork in the 1960s in Bangladesh （East Pakistan at that time） and written the ethnography "Paribar and Kinship in a Moslem Rural Village in East Pakistan （1967）." It became the first ethnography to describe their kinship and religious value in the area of Bangladesh. The authors of this paper visited Gohira Village, Hara's research site，and interviewed the local people about their memories with him. Their narratives，after 50 years of his fieldwork，bring his lively presence. Some of them recall not only his ethnographic fieldwork but also their relationship with him and the influence they had received from him. </p> <p>　This article emphasizes the significance of local people's encounters with an anthropologist and reexamines the ethnography from the contemporary local people's perspectives. It should be an example of rethinking of the former ethnography after the 70s' discussion of Writing Culture. </p>
