Hello Every One
Thanks for the welcome John.
As said, my name is Josué, i´m from Brazil, 21 years old, et cetera.
Next 30/nov I'm going to Namibia to make my first fieldwork experience. And basically I decided to have a blog here for two things, the first one is to put my ideas where every one can see, read and give me ideas - it's almost impossible to handle with anxiety - and the second one is to pratice my English.
On Anthropology I'm very interested on postmodern issues - my readings basically resume to that kind of topics - and on all this posmoderns(postestruturalist, desconstrutivist) problens aplied to the enthnographies living and writing process, the last one nicely devided by James Clifford, into 6 ways of developing(and with that citation i´ll stop writing):
"Ethnography writing is determined in at least six ways: (1) Contextually (it draws from and creates meaningful social milieux); (2) Rhetorically (it uses and is used by expressive conventions); (3) Institutionally (one writes within, and against, specific traditions, disciplines, audiences); (4) Generically (an ethnography is usually distinguishable from a novel or a travel account); (5) Politically (the authority to represent cultural realities is unequally shared and at times contested); (6) Historically (all the above conventions and constraints are changing). These determinations govern the inscription of coherent ethnographic fictions"
