SALSA proposta independente suplementar

[bauo]

Caros e Caras,



Estou mandando a seguinte proposta em inglês devido à natureza  
multilíngüe do congresso em questão. Para quem não puder ou não deseja  
participar desse encontro em Belém, e se interessa pelo tema, Edilene  
Coffaci de Lima (professora doutora da Universidade Federal do Paraná)  
e eu (idem, da UNICAMP) estamos propondo levar essa discussão à  
próxima reunião da Anpocs. Porém, essa proposta ainda não foi aprovada.



Um abraço



Vanessa Lea

Proposal of thematic session for the SALSA Conference at the Museu  
Goeldi, Belém, 22-26 June, 2011:



The metamorphosis of the ethnographer





This panel proposes to discuss the transformation of the role of  
anthropologist in the contemporary world context. The very question of  
alterity is changing (not just in ‘ethnology’) as people increasingly  
study their own groups (vegans studying veganism etc).

In Brazil the discussion of post-colonialism is usually reserved for  
elsewhere in the world, but there are evident analogies between what  
is happening here and native empowerment elsewhere. It is accompanied  
by the demand for the transfer of technology, in the sense of  
transforming Amerindians into ethnographers.

The importance of the symbolic theme of predation has received much  
discussion in the anthropological literature, but the projection of  
the image of predator onto the ethnographer has been virtually  
ignored. It is a delicate issue as anthropologists have long been the  
brunt of attacks from the Right. Brazilian anthropology prides itself  
on being politicized, but this goes hand in hand with its  
powerlessness, opposition to the Belo Monte project being but the  
latest instance.

Is collaborative or symmetrical anthropology sufficient answer? In  
sum, how far can we reinvent ourselves?
