ACHILLI, Elena L.. Construcción de conocimientos antropológicos y coinvestigación etnográfica: Problemas y desafíos. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2017, n.45, pp.07-20. ISSN 1850-275X.

Discussing anthropological knowledge construction processes entails reflecting upon different connected dimensions. Epistemological and theoretical-methodological positionings with different political consequences are intertwined. In addition, institutional conditions and the socio-historical context in which certain local and global disciplinary trends are inscribed must be taken into account. This paper looks into the processes of socio-anthropological research I have participated in over the last decades with schools, teachers, teacher unions, indigenous peoples and groups in conditions of structural poverty. I will particularly focus on the modalities of ethnographic co-researchthat we have implemented in several projects. I will attempt to show some of the theoretical-methodological potentialities that ethnography contributes to group/collective processes of research as well as limits in its development. Finally, I will mention some of the contemporary challenges anthropological knowledge faces in present Latin America.

Palabras clave : Anthropological knowledge; Debates; Ethnographic co-research; Group modality; Contemporary challenges.
