Abstract

TELLO, Mariana. (Re)thinking the concept of reflexivity in the field work context. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.667-675. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article approaches the complexities of ethnographic practice as lived theory (Peirano, 2008) and delves into a concept that begun taking centrality in social sciences in the 1980s and still provokes debates now wadays: reflexivity. Revising the author's own professional traajectory within the anthropology of violence and sociopolitica al conflicts, the article inquires how a reflexive disposition is acquired and transmitted in the construction of ethnographic data. Finally, the article presents an examination of the political, ethical and epistemological tensions which intersect the researcher's perspective in the process of knowledge production.

Keywords : Reflexivity; Social sciences; Ethnography; Political violence.
