Abstract

This chapter investigates how dominant framings of the African armed actor as barbaric shaped ethnographic research on the everyday interaction between the military and civilians in the eastern DR Congo’s Kivu provinces. It also explores the role of the new media in the researcher’s efforts to cope with this discursive baggage.
