Abstract

CANELO, Brenda. ¿Es etnografía? Un análisis metodológico del trabajo propio. Avá [online]. 2011, n.18. ISSN 1851-1694.

In this work I analyze a text of my authorship where I yearned to shape an ethnographic description of my object of investigation in order to reflect on that writing and the fieldwork which sustains it. With this objective, after reproducing that text, I order the article in three analytical sections. In the first I investigate the characteristics of the fieldwork that has made possible that writing and the incidence that theory and common sense had in it. After this I analyze the achievements and difficulties happened in my approach to the perspective of the actor. The third section focuses on my field experience and its impact on my investigation, text and person, as well as on the same field. To conclude, I offer general reflections on the analyzed text and bring challenges to be overcome in the next stages of my research that I detected after this reflexive exercise.

Keywords : Ethnography; Fieldwork; Perspective of the actor; Experience.
