Is turned in the classroom, then through seminar meetings and a selection of online materials and articles from scholarly journals. After reconstructing the generative paths of ethnographic practice, with Malinowski and the first generation of scholars, critical perspectives will be considered, particularly reflections on ethnographic description in the 1980s and 1990s and the decolonial approach.
