Fieldwork in racialized and sexualized contexts. When decoloniality is embodied in the fieldworkers

Abstract:

The authors, based on the dialogue established from their experiences in fieldwork in the Dominican Republic and Cuba, delve into the complex procedures aimed at building both difference and power. Living their relationship with 'the others' from their way of understanding ethnographic practice, place them within both contexts as 'desirable' subjects; subjects that create 'possibilities' even 'dreams'. This makes them aware of the racialization and sexualization of their own bodies, which bear meanings that speak about decoloniality, forcing them to wonder about how to reproduce the power relationships within the ethnographic practice.
