Abstract

While kinship is a key and thoroughly analyzed tenet of anthropology, friendship has not been afforded the same status, as it is notoriously difficult to categorize. This paper seeks to contribute to the widening of this field through analyzing the experiences and definitions of friendship of four interlocutors, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of friendship between interlocutor and anthropologist in ethnographic fieldwork.
