PEREZ-BUSTOS, Tania; TOBAR-ROA, Victoria y MARQUEZ-GUTIERREZ, Sara. Ethnographies of touch. Feminist reflections about embroidery as knowledge. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2016, n.26, pp.47-66. ISSN 1900-5407. https://doi.org/10.7440/antipoda26.2016.02.
What does a feminist ethnography touch? What is the nature of this contact? Returning reflectively on our ethnographic approach to the handcraft embroidery of Cartago (Colombia), in this paper we focus on the ways in which the ethnographic experience is shaped by contacts that take place and are unfolded in the space of everyday life. We delve into three types of touch: touch that happen in and by the body of those who do ethnography, touch taking place around the embroidery and the materialities associated with this task, and lastly the recording technologies and their effects on ethnographic experience, emphasizing in some careful strategies to mitigate such effects. We conclude with some speculations about what it means for the ethnographic practice and its theoretical reflection, the attribution of an active role to materialities in the construction of the ethnographic space and experience.
