Mulheres e suas casas: Reflexões etnográficas a partir do Brasil e da África do Sul

Abstract

The present article raises epistemological questions upon two different ethnographic experiences, in Brazil and in South Africa. Both research experiences are focused on women who develop along with their homes an imaginative relationship, challenging modernist perspectives on how to inhabit this world. Our main concern here is to animate further thoughts on how we as anthropologists could learn from our hosts' methods and theories.
