Il gesto antropologico come fonte della riflessione etica. Note introduttive
No full textThe author analyzes the relationship between epistemology and ethics of the practice of anthropological research through the process of his professional institutionalization started recently in Italy, and in particular the elaboration of the Code of Conduct. The definition of the contents of anthropological expertise to legitimate its social recognition and authorize a specific professional ethics require to rethink the fieldwork relationships and their pertinence in the process of knowledge production. The author proposes to overcome the conception of the relationship as methodical instrument and the ethics of obligation strictly related to it, both external to the act of anthropological understanding and insufficient to distinguish its originality, with a more comprehensive understanding of the fieldwork relationship as emergent social bond throughout the anthropologist implication (her/his social construction). Drawing on his research experiences and on the notion of the practice’s internal good as suggested by the moral theory of Alasdair MacIntyre, finally, the author points out a way to recognize in the anthropological endeavor itself its original contribution to public knowledge as the very source of its professional ethics and its theoretical import to the public discussion about the common good in genera
L’ascolto antropologico: epistemologia, etica e (in)giustizia
No full textHow do anthropologists listen? What is the epistemological “status” of listening in anthropological
research? The author presents listening as a practice that cannot be
reduced to a mere socio-cognitive and semiotic process or methodical prescription.
Anthropological listening always turns out to be conformed in its modus operandi by the
theoretical frameworks in which anthropologists inscribe themselves and which selectively
define the aims of the research itself as well as the relevance of the ethnographic
materials collected. The author proposes to consider anthropological listening as a
foundational social act in which the time and space of its becoming is the medium
where the interpretation of the collected material takes shape. And it is in this becoming,
“in and out” of the field, that the distinctive ethical dimension of the anthropological
listening manifests itself
Le interazioni sul campo e l'implicazione in Gérard Althabe. Oltre lo stallo dell'etnografia urbana
No full textL’autore presenta la nozione d’implicazione del ricercatore nei lavori
dell’antropologo francese Gérard Althabe e ne illustra l’originalità mettendola
a confronto con la nozione dei master role di Raymond Gold e dei
membership role di Patricia e Peter Adler per pensare le interazioni sul
campo. Proprio sul campo, Althabe ha riconosciuto il suo potenziale gnoseologico,
prima per rendere conto dell’universo rurale africano negli anni
della decolonizzazione, e poi, nel contesto urbano francese, per analizzare
le interazioni nello spazio pubblico residenziale, al tempo della trasformazione
strutturale del lavoro salariato e del capitale degli anni Ottanta.
L’autore evidenzia la pertinenza attuale dell’implicazione e delle operazioni
di conoscenza a cui abilita a proposito delle novità metodologicheThe author presents the notion of social production of the ethnographer
(French “implication”) in the fieldworks of French anthropologist Gérard
Althabe and explains its originality by comparing it with the notion of
Raymond Gold’s master roles and Patricia and Peter Adler’s membership
roles to conceptualize the fieldwork interactions. From within the fieldwork
namely, Althabe recognized its epistemological potential firstly to account
for the African rural universe in the years of decolonization, and then, in
French urban milieue, to analyze the social interactions in the public space
at the time of structural transformation of the labor and capital in the 1980s.
The author points out the relevance of “implication” and the conceptual operations
it enables to correspond the methodological integratio
