Half a century of field research: self-biographical reflection on the contributions of the gender perspective

Abstract

This article reports an investigation career that began in the 1960s, in four Latin American countries. In addition to recalling the difficulties and barriers faced by an anthropologist in the period prior to the contemporary opheminist movement, it aims to take a subjective account of research, topics and methodological and analytical paradigms of the changes in the field in anthropology. In the end, Eduardo Viveiros’ proposed by Eduardo Viveiros is assessed and its limitations in emphasising male activities and metaphors of cannibalism, predation and violence in their ontology. The application of this model in lowland ethnology, in many research, tends to ignore the gender perspective, the diversity and cultural specificity of the groups and the possibility of an agency of actors in favour of a general and ahistorical interpretation.
