Abstract

TRENTINI, Florencia  and  WOLANSKI, Sandra. Rethinking Engagement from the Ethnographic Experience: Discomforts and Potentialities of Knowledge Production with Social Organizations. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2018, vol.54, n.1, pp.151-173. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.387.

This paper explores ethnographic work with social organizations, drawing from two dissimilar research experiences: with an urban labor union and with a natural park co-management project. We problematize the notion of engagement as a specific relation built during our work and reveal its situated nature, shaped through dialogue with the interests and proposals of the organizations, as well as by local definitions and meanings.

Keywords : ethnography; engagement; activist research; social movements.
