Abstract

OCHOA-SIERRA, María; CATANO, José Leonardo  and  TAPIAS-HERNANDEZ, César Augusto. Neither free nor wage earner. A collaborative research experience to promote visual anthropology. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp.90-104. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.3443.

Visual anthropology, as a research methodology, is valid in the social sciences. In this method, which became the experience of the collective and audiovisual ethnographic work, the participatory and collaborative process is highlighted. This methodological proposal is developed in a concrete case study: the Afro-descendant “pileros;” who are workers who work in the construction of caissons. It is a racialized trade, carried out by people of African descent in the city of Medellín.

Keywords : Visual Anthropology; Ethnographic Representation; Racialized Trades; Structural Racism; Afro-descendants; Piles; Caisson; “Pilería.”.
