Abstract

The authoress recovers the debate around the ethnographic authority that occurred in anthropology from the postmodern currents that reduced culture, ethnography and reflexivity to textuality, and addresses the main questions to the assumptions on which this conception is based and the problematization on the forms of construction of authority, from the assumption of ethnography as a perspective and method of knowledge.
