Por uma estética da restituição: notas sobre o uso do vídeo na pesquisa antropológica

Abstract

This paper intends to unveil some of the heuristic, ethical and political consequences of the epistemological implications on the use of video for anthropological fieldwork. Taking as a point of depart three personal experiences in visual anthropology, it seeks to reflect on the ways fieldworkers, dealing with anthropology of restitution, are constantly demanded to question themselves about intersubjectivity, authorship and affects during filmmaking process.
