Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the complexity of the researcher’s position in ethnographic study through the example of the research on the “Proljetni uranak – Zenička čimburijada” event. The focus of the paper is on examining the variability of the researcher’s position, which in the initial phases presumes an insider stance, but in reality constantly oscillates between insider and outsider roles. Through an analysis of the research, which primarily used interviewing and participant observation methods, the development of research positions is presented, as well as the challenges of balancing between the different roles that the researcher simultaneously performs in the field. Special emphasis is placed on the dynamics of positions and power relations, which in the case of the research of “Zenička čimburijada” are manifested through different situations in the field.
