Etnografiar emociones en la construcción del conocimiento antropológico

This article emerges from the authors’ interest in exploring new approaches to ethnographic practice and anthropological reflection. Drawing on our fieldwork experience and our teaching of workshops and seminars for scholars interested in the relationship between emotion and anthropology, we engage with an ethnographic approach through an ‘emotional lens’. We propose integrating this perspective into the curriculum for the training of future anthropologists. The reflexivity of emotion as a category is relevant in two ways: first, as an object of study in anthropology and second, as part of the researcher’s process of knowledge construction, that is, as an essential component of the analysis of ethnographic descriptions.
