La “princesa antropóloga”: disciplinamiento de cuerpos feminizados y método etnográfico

Abstract

The article reflects on the disciplining practices of bodies doing ethnography. To do this, it explores undergraduate training in social sciences in Colombia. It analyzes 32 syllabi on qualitative methodologies and a research project on training for students. Its findings show that this training stands on the idea of the ethnographer as a capable, brave and masculine body. It takes up the expression "anthropologist princess" to refer to the discipline process that produces out-of-place bodies and "the field" as a rough place.
