O trabalho do Antropólogo: olhar, ouvir, escrever

Abstract

According to the author, seeing, hearing and writing constitute three strategic moments pertaining to the anthropologist's craft. Using concrete ethnographic examples, it is shown how each of these monents, when properly submitted to epistemological reflection, can increase the efficacy of anthropological work. Seeing and bearing accomplish their basic functions during empirical research. However, writing, parlicularly of the kind wich is done in the office, emergcs as the most fruitful moment of interpretation. Thinking is revealed in its most creatíve moment when writing becomes the means for textualizing socio-cultural reality.
