Metafísicas antropológicas: as fronteiras da representação epistemológica na produção etnográfica

Abstract

In this work, I list possibilities for reflections on the ways in which researchers in anthropology delimit the core of their research, starting from my own experience as a researcher faced with various concrete difficulties in carrying out a field research, thus leading to an ontological reflection on the units of position and legitimacy to obtain and hold in a text that would try to guide an Awa-Guajá cosmology, an ethnic group that is different from the one the researcher in question has in his social life. With these premises, the reflective sketch in the hope of going into the field took shape as the final work itself, a research based on the provisionalities and arbitrariness of conceptualization devices and the way in which the production of scientific knowledge takes place in a certain aspect of narratives and events that go beyond the usual perception or are seen as obvious, in a meta-anthropological exercise of doing science
