Abstract
[Resumen] En diálogo con teorías antropológicas, desde
nuestra experiencia etnográfica presentamos el
trabajo de campo como un abandono, en sentido
positivo. Dicho abandono tiene en cuenta
diferentes aspectos que interactúan con la figura
del antropólogo, como herramienta, sujeto y
objeto de conocimiento, mediador e intérprete
de lo cultural. Entendemos la observación
participante como una experiencia cognitivocorporal,
donde la flexibilidad, las relaciones
de reciprocidad con los sujetos de estudio y las
alternativas al sociocentrismo y al etnocentrismo
son ejes de nuestro análisis. Proponemos la
práctica del trabajo de campo como un ritual
de iniciación y como un escenario ideal para el
análisis de las relaciones entre ciencia, poder
y política. Entendemos el campo como lugar
pero también como habitus.
[Abstract] Through the dialogue of anthropological theories with our ethnographic experience, we discuss fieldwork as surrender, in the positive sense. Surrender takes into account different aspects, that interact with the anthropologist, who is both time tool, subject and object of knowledge, mediator, and cultural interpreter. We understand participant observation as a cognitive and bodily experience. Flexibility, reciprocity with subjects of study, and alternatives to sociocentrism and ethnocentrism, are core ideas here. We propose fieldwork as an initiation ritual and as a stage for the analysis of relations between science, power, and politics. We posit the field not just as a place but also as habitus.
