The Crisis of Representation: A Journey into Meta-Ethnography

The Crisis of Representation: A Journey into Meta-Ethnography

Welcome to the journey that deconstructs the scientific gaze: Postmodern Anthropology. Born from a crisis of representation, it questions whether objective cultural descriptions are truly possible. Through meta-ethnography, the anthropologist and their texts become the focus of analysis. Works such as Writing Culture reveal the politics and poetics behind every ethnographic account. We will explore reflexivity in the field with Paul Rabinow and the 'non-places' of Marc Augé. We will see how this 'bricolage' of knowledge helps assemble the complex mosaic of the contemporary world. Prepare to understand culture not as a single truth, but as a living and partial construction.
