Abstract

BELCIC, Sofía  and  PAUNI JONES, Maitén. “Some things that happen there, I can’t tell you about”:. Runa [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.1, pp.121-138.  Epub Apr 21, 2021. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v42i1.8476.

Based on the respective experiences of academic exchange in Rio de Janeiro in which the authors participated, this work reconstructs common aspects of their research trajectories in that city by carrying out a comparative exercise with their research with young boys from working-class neighborhoods and street vendors from the city of Buenos Aires. This analysis focuses, first of all, on the implications of the enrollment of ethnographic work, investigating the relationships built on the basis of (dis)trust upon the insertion of the anthropologists in the different social environments. Secondly, a methodological reflection is developed focused on the particularities that ethnographic research acquires in different contexts where violence, in its different manifestations and meanings, transversally crosses social ties.

Keywords : Violence; Field work; Youth; Street vendors; Rio de Janeiro.
