Resumo

This article explores the complex relationship between ethnographers and the subjects of their research, focusing on the political implications of ethnographic representation. Stocking and Brettell examine how the act of writing about a culture inevitably involves choices that can shape perceptions and potentially impact the lives of those being studied. They discuss the ethical dilemmas faced by ethnographers in navigating issues of power, representation, and the potential for misinterpretation or exploitation. The authors argue for a more reflexive approach to ethnographic practice, urging researchers to consider the political context of their work and the potential consequences of their writing.
