| Description | The growing participation of Amerindians in the planning and implementation of research projects, and their role in the development and dissemination of results suggest the usefulness of redefining the ethnographic and reflective pragmatics of what anthropology is supposed to do. In recent years, these pragmatics have increasingly moved in the direction of cooperation, collaboration, and coproduction redefining anthropological dialogues and scholarly productions. Meanwhile, this symmetrization of Amerindians and anthropologists moved anthropology toward a deeper ethical and political dimension, even stronger when the anthropologists are Amerindians themselves. In the presentation, three cases will be described to introduce some questions about the effective realization of cooperation, co-productions, and collaborations when Amerindians are the protagonists of anthropological efforts. The first is a virtual ethnographic exhibition, the second a round table at an international scientific congress and the third the production and publication of an article in a scientific journal. In all three cases, creative, plural, and engaged strategies promoted the redefinition of anthropological pragmatics. The core thesis is that, far from being unnecessary, the current anthropological effort must rethink the status of its inquiry, mobilizing different ontological, epistemological, and axiological tools to be effectively plural. |
