Obtuso es el sentido: visualidad y práctica etnográfica

Abstract

What about the image that marks absence, when more than revealing it increases uncertainty? There, teetering on the currents of a river, a lump appears. Over here, closer, in a washed-out portrait, a wink is detonated. There are always opaque regions where bodies are formed. Between the dumbness and the change, waves escape. When the back is turned to the camera in a moment frozen by astonishment. Shadows that brush, that interplay with the sun's rays and the piercing noises of drills. There where there are material traces of a care suspended by disappearance. Every ethnographic encounter leaves records. Sometimes, from them emerge images that point to something singular, of fleeting temporality.
