Constellation, Chiasmus, Philosophy, Anthropology, EthnographyAbstract
The present essay skims my personal experience before entering university and after, when I started teaching and conducting research. After criticizing the methods of dialectics and synthesis, the researcher’s identity is pluralized to affirm a transitive perspective based on a moving constellation which designs certain mutant and fundamental concepts: fetishism, syncretism, polyphony, heteronomy, diaspora, friendship, astonishment, ubiquity, gender, indiscipline, and Marx66. Ethnography emerges as the attempt to interweave anthropology and philosophy for being at the crossroads of the chiasmus.
