SUAREZ-GUAVA, LUIS ALBERTO. UNA COLCHA: ELEMENTOS DE UNA ETNOGRAFÍA QUE LA ARROPAN. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2002, vol.38, pp.217-236. ISSN 0486-6525.

THIS ESSAY EXAMINES THREE TOPICS THAT INTERSECTED ONE ANOTHER DURING ETHNOGRAPHIC research: cultural identity, customs -a concept allowing discussions about this type of identity- and the cultural elaboration of time. Implicit in the text, but not hidden, are reflections regarding the task of writing within anthropology -because in our milieu the real is presented through words-, the researcher's condition as a social subject and the limits of "ethnographic authority", that, I suppose, is not only the authority to describe, but also the authority to conceptualize.

Palavras-chave : ethnography; textuality; identity; culture; urban indigenous communities.
