Ethnography, Fieldwork, Amazon, Yagua, Shamanism, FrontierAbstract
The author attempts to make explicit certain aspects of his fieldwork experience among the Yagua, in the Peruvian Amazon (1971-2008), providing us with details of this experience as a learning process. His recollections take him to reflect on the ethnography as a gender, which he understands not so much as a stable, self-explanatory directive —as it is commonly received— as quite the opposite: as a process of continual elaboration.
