Abstract Reflections on participatory and collaborative research commonly neglect to pay attention to the fact that for community researchers, investigation into their own realities frequently takes forms very different from those of academic scholars. They may use methods that are more explicitly intuitive and may depart from approaches that involve the rigorous collection and systematization of data. This paper explores what research might have meant to the Caribbean peasants of the early 1970s with whom Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda developed his approach to what is today called participatory action research. In particular, it focuses on the field notes of Alfonso Salgado Martínez, a leader of the National Association of Peasant Users-Sincelejo Line (ANUC, Asociación Nacional de Usuarios Campesinos-Línea Sincelejo), juxtaposing them to his published work, both read in comparison to Fals Borda's own notes and writings.
对参与式合作研究的反思往往忽视了这样一个事实,即社区研究人员对自身现实的调查往往采用与学术学者截然不同的形式。他们可能使用更直观的方法,可能偏离涉及严格收集和系统化数据的方法。本文探讨了研究对20世纪70年代初的加勒比农民可能意味着什么,哥伦比亚社会学家奥兰多·法尔斯·博尔达(Orlando Fals Borda)与他们一起发展了今天所谓的参与式行动研究方法。本书特别关注Alfonso Salgado Martínez的田野笔记,他是全国农民用户协会-Sincelejo线(ANUC, Asociación Nacional de Usuarios Campesinos-Línea Sincelejo)的领导人,并将其与他发表的作品并列,并将其与Fals Borda自己的笔记和著作进行比较。

Resumen La antropología feminista ha conformado un campo de conocimiento dentro de la disciplina desde una perspectiva de género. Actualmente existen escasos trabajos sobre el desarrollo de las antropologías feministas locales, por lo que en este trabajo me intereso por recuperar la vida y obra de algunas pensadoras importantes para la antropología feminista, a las que me refiero como rebeldes y revolucionarias. Me centro en el desarrollo de este campo epistémico en Chiapas y Centroamérica, entre los años setenta y noventa (s. XX), periodo marcado por la convulsión política, la represión, las políticas de contrainsurgencia en la región, lo que afectó fuertemente a estudiantes y profesoras de la época, algunas organizadas en los movimientos revolucionarios centroamericanos. Me enfoco específicamente en los aportes de Alaíde Foppa, Stella Quan, Walda Barrios y Marta Casaús y analizo no solamente su quehacer antropológico y sociocientífico sobre las críticas feministas marxistas y socialistas a las nociones tradicionales de clase, las influencias del pensamiento gramscicano, los cuestionamientos anticoloniales de la época que marcaron su pensamiento, sino también sus experiencias políticas en movimientos sociales y revolucionarios, así como algunas de sus vivencias personales.

Resumen Para este número de la revista Vibrant traemos las contribuciones de distintas.os antropólogas.os latinoamericanas.os y latinoamericanistas que reflexionan acerca de los grandes temas, problemáticas y abordajes teóricos metodológicos que ocupan actualmente a nuestra disciplina. Partimos de considerar que, si bien la antropología producida en América Latina y el Caribe se ha desarrollado de forma diversa, tiene la particularidad de ser una disciplina centrada en el análisis de los grandes problemas contemporáneos, sean los vinculados con la diversidad étnico cultural, las relaciones interculturales, las formas organizativas contrahegemónicas o con los impactos de la globalización, la diferencia y la desigualdad. Aunque no tengamos la pretensión de abarcar la multiplicidad de las antropologías latinoamericanas, buscamos destacar la diversidad de estudios, temas, dilemas y desafíos del quehacer antropológico en la contemporaneidad en la región y contribuir para el debate sobre la disciplina a lo cual tantas.os colegas se han dedicado.

Abstract This article unites the co-authors’ years of empirical research with women in policed, stigmatized, and low-autonomy sex industry sectors in Brazil, China, Italy, and the United States to identify six prevalent forms of exclusion: economic, intersectional, health, safety, public vilification, and policing. We analyze the distinct manifestations of these exclusionary forces in all four sites to introduce criminal creep as theoretical shorthand for the global seepage of ideological, structural, and interpersonal exclusionary forces into social life, professional practice, and socio-legal procedures that marginalize women in the sex industry as victim-criminals in need of rehabilitation. Uniting and building upon literature on feminist engagement with and critiques of citizenship, conceptual uses of “creep”, carcerality and crimmigration, and critical anti-trafficking studies, we argue that criminal creep facilitates a perfect storm of exclusion that promotes sex workers’ de facto and de jure exclusion from citizenship through a set of wide-ranging set of harms. Furthermore, we identify “control creep” as a factor limiting - even radically - the political organization of and social scientific production regarding the vulnerable populations anti-sex work and anti-trafficking laws are supposedly designed to aid.

Abstract This article considers how relations with certain plants produce multiple temporalities for the Wajãpi, an Amerindian people from the Brazilian Amazon. Inspired by a non-anthropocentric anthropology or an “anthropology beyond the human,” the article is an ethnographic exploration about how the Wajãpi perceive the concrete and sensible features of certain vegetable species, and thus how they see them as subjects, in a process that produces different space-times. I also show how certain concepts are central to this same process, specifically, that of life cycle and maturation (including death), which lead to notions of co-temporality and difference between groups and individuals.

Abstract This article focuses on three moments in the intellectual elucidation of Haitian identity during the time that Haiti was occupied by the United States, from 1915 to 1934. It analyses the intellectual output of writers of Haitian Indigenism, which emerged during this period of crisis and its political developments. The article makes five main points: first, it presents the emergence of Haitian Indigenism; second, it turns to the first manifestation of Haitian intellectuals against the US occupation, considering the so-called ‘writers at the margins of Indigenism; third, it presents the position of authors of the Revue Indigène, particularly of Jean Price-Mars; fourth, it analyses the Revue Les Griots, concentrating on how François Duvalier makes political use of the racial issue. Finally, through these investigations, the article establishes a dialogue with contemporary authors who discuss the construction of identity within post-colonial debate.

This paper focuses on the ways that the i ́ku people, an indigenous group from the Colombian Caribbean, envisage the territory. The main idea is to discuss the category of “Línea Negra”, making it one of the main territorial axis. For doing so, the paper takes into consideration a basic issue described by other authors: the differences between governmental and indigenous perspectives about what territory is. The main argument seeks to unstabilize the common idea about the “Línea Negra” being a limit in the western sense, enlightening other relations in which the primordial places, also known as sacred places, are the protagonists.

This article analyses some aspects of the Brazilian program of Interiorization of people from Venezuela based on the experience of some “family nuclei” that were transferred from Roraima to Rio Grande do Norte in 2018. The text proposes a comparison of the internalization program, in its local outlines in Caicó, with the solidarity resettlement program previously researched in other regions of the country, suggesting that there is a continuity of some administrative traditions of people in exodus and, at the same time, pointing out significant transformations in the administration of migratory affairs in recent years. The article concludes with the reflection of some political and ethical challenges that arouse during the periods of participant observation that gave rise to this contribution.

Abstract In this article, I reflect upon the ways in which Peruvians in Rio de Janeiro negotiate their process of racialization, based on the category Indian and their interaction with me, a Black Brazilian woman. Despite the fact that Indian is part of both the Brazilian and Peruvian racial classification system, this category has particular meanings in each context. When they “discover” they are Indians”, Peruvians face the specificities of anti-Indigenous racism in the urban context of Rio de Janeiro. They also deal with discrimination within the Peruvian community. This article analyzes the case of Peruvians who create self-definitions (Hill-Collins, 2016), both individually and collectively, that challenge stereotypes of peruanidad. Racialization also opens up possibilities for anti-racist solidarity between Peruvians and Black Brazilians. My research is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Brazil and the United States from 2011 to 2016.
