Etnografia do Barranco: poéticas do encontro em processos colaborativos multiespecíficos

Abstract

Ethnography of Barranco - Poetics of Encounter in Multispecies Collaborative Processes is a research cultivated from a series of encounters with Barranco, located in Salvador - BA. The book-object born from these encounters can be read as an exercise in speculative anthropology that proposes to seed questions such as: In the context of social isolation, could the pandemic bring a new perspective on our relationship with other species? How can we experience the body as a territory of encounter? What would it be like to conduct a collaborative artistic process with what we are used to calling nature?

The dissertation reenacts some procedures incorporated in the book through a fragmented narrative, composed of images, texts, and appropriations drawn from the thinking of other authors. In the sections called Fruitions, works that conceptually relate to the book or integrate its graphic family are included, but have gained autonomy as works in other bodies and spaces.
