Abstract

The impact of research and publications on the communities studied by anthropologists raises crucial ethical issues. I discuss some of these issues here on the basis of my research experiences in Puglia. This Southern Italian region is sometimes described as a ‘landmark on the anthropological tourist map,’ due to the extensive interest that the curative tradition of tarantism, indigenous to this area, has attracted.
