In the experiential approach, fieldwork constitutes the very process of constructing ethnographic knowledge, a data in itself. The intersubjectivity between the anthropologist and the people they study represents a legitimate path to knowledge of the world lived by others. This approach has proven successful in studies of religion, sports, martial arts, among others.
