Entre a prática, a teoria, a escrita e a experimentação etnográficas

Abstract: A entrevista que se segue foi realizada no dia 11 de março de 2020, na cidade de Nova Iorque, nos Estados Unidos. No dia anterior, o presidente Donald Trump havia reconhecido o status de pandemia de COVID-19 e a quantidade crescente de casos nos Estados Unidos. Enquanto isso, eu estava nos últimos dias de um intercâmbio intelectual de 10 meses (entre maio de 2019 e março de 2020), financiado pela Fapesp, no qual fui supervisionada pelo professor Michael Taussig 1 .

“…However, these readings of Taussig's ethnographies fail to account for cultural difference as alterity, which happens to be so because the implicit narrative structure shared by these readers departs from a conception of anthropology as a realist, objective, and human science dedicated to represent the "other" to a Westernized "Self." Coronil and Fausto, alongside Leal (2014), Rebuzzi (2015), and Parreiras (2020), all agree on the efficacy of Taussig's narratives to represent the counterlogics of people either not yet fully subjected to capitalism (as they appear in Devil) or who became extremely victimized by it (as in Shamanism). Under such readings, the "devil pact" in the first ethnography and the "shamanistic healing" in the second are figurative beliefs that stand as precapitalist "others," and as such, the readers of Taussig's works consider his ethnographies of the beliefs and rituals of Latin American peasants, miners, enslaved indigenous peoples, and shamans as descriptively "thin" but aesthetically "thick.…”

“…8 For this review, I focus only on his earliest publications and depart from interviews and reviews of only two of his works. 9 I follow Gross (1983), Fausto (1988, Leal (2014), Rebuzzi (2015), and Parreiras (2020). I also address an additional review, Coronil's (1996), but the idea is not to present a comparative perspective or to essentialize a "Latin American perspective" to the detriment of other readings and critiques of his work.…”
