Resumen
MACARENA OSSOLA, María. The ethnographic authority interpellated. Contemporary tensions on text (s) of otherness. univ.humanist. [online]. 2013, n.75, pp.63-80. ISSN 0120-4807.
This article reflects on the new challenges that faces ethnography as writing regime about otherness. First of all the field work, conducted in two social spaces in the province of Salta (Argentina), is described: a state university and an indigenous community. Then an event that occurred in 2011 is narrated, in which one of the subjects that participated in the study questions the author's written production, that he did not agree with what is stated in a publication derived from the research. Lastly, it is proposed to take criticism as a turning point to think within the ethnographic work and reflect on the ways that keep the "ethnographic authority" in a context where literacy and writing synthesize the historical struggles of certain groups to distance themselves from the voices that others have imposed.
