The exoticization of fieldwork structurally genders the discipline and its central practice as male. This gendering is both symbolic and real. Even before Kenneth S. Goldstein defined the ideal field team as "the folklorist and his wife" ( 1964) came the presumption that the professional folklorist-in-training, the graduate student, could simply up sticks and move someplace far away. There he will enact a mysterious and transformative encounter with "his people" - fieldwork. Presumptions of the gender of fieldworkers structure actual fieldwork, as we'll show. But they are also quite contrary to the actual sex of fieldworkers in our disciplines; most are female.

"These characteristics are all tied to the decomposition of bodies," Borrini said. "But they saw a fat, dead person, full of blood and with a hole in the shroud, so they would say: 'This guy is alive, he's drinking blood and eating his shroud."'
"The real vampire of tradition was different," he said. "It was just a decomposing body."
