Abstract

I sostein the creation of an ethnography opposed to the hegemonic ideas of capital and democracy, understood in themselves as great narratives. I suggest an analytical proposal based on the notions of traslation of Walter Benjamin. This perspective can give us possibilities for specifics and historical descriptions more human, supportive, dialogical, and non-positivist.
