Abstract
This study is a contribution to the discussion of the possible difficulties of field research, and reflects personal experience of author with two short-term research projects in Turkey in the locality of Yörük. It does not try to present a generally applicable theory, nor analyse in detail data acquired in the field.
It tries to show how the original research goal can change under the influence of new findings during the course of the research. The process by which the diversion from the original research intent may occur is described in the case of field research in the village of Yörük.
