Resumen
LIPKAU HENRIQUEZ, Elisa. LA MIRADA ERÓTICA: CUERPO Y PERFORMANCE EN LA ANTROPOLOGÍA VISUAL. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2009, n.9, pp.231-262. ISSN 1900-5407.
As Bill Nichols proposed (1991: 209), the ethnographer's emotions in the field are normally kept within what he called the "anthropological unconscious". In the present article I refer to the relationship between the body -that of the ethnographer and the ones of his/her subjects-, the performance of all of them, and visual anthropology as a vast field of study about social representation. In this sense, I analyze the possibility of reaching something Nichols called an "erotics of the gaze", which conceives film as the inscription of an experience of cultural interaction between human and sensitive beings. This gaze may help us overcome the distance and hierarchy that have been traditionally established in some ethnographic and anthropological practices, in order to help us build new types of relationships with our subjects and, as Jean Rouch said in 1974: "help us share anthropology".
