Resumen

En este artículo la antropóloga Lila Abu-Lughod discute y critica las proposiciones anunciadas por el libro Writting Culture, editado por James Clifford y Marcus Fisher. La autora propone que los antropólogos y las antropologías pasen a escribir contra el concepto de cultura, enfatizando un tipo de etnografía del particular que sea capaz de huir de la cristalización de las diferencias y de las generalizaciones. El artículo también es una reacción la ausencia de feministas e investigadores de múltiple origen étnico y regional en el conjunto de capítulos publicados por Clifford y Fisher que inauguraron a su vez todo un movimiento teórico en la antropología comúnmente conocida como antropología posmoderna. El texto de Abu-Lughod, tan influyente como el libro de Clifford y Fisher, marca un importante momento teórico y etnográfico para la disciplina, al enfatizar y mostrar la posicionalidad del conocimiento más allá de la parcialidad enunciada por los autores posmodernos.

Biografía del autor/a

Lila Abu-Lughod, Universidade de Columbia na Cidade de Nova York/NY

Mi trabajo, fuertemente etnográfico y basado principalmente en Egipto, se ha centrado en tres grandes cuestiones: la relación entre las formas culturales y el poder; la política del conocimiento y la representación; y la dinámica del género y la cuestión de los derechos de las mujeres en el Medio Oriente. Mi primer libro, Veiled Sentiments, trataba sobre la política del sentimiento y la expresión cultural en una comunidad beduina en Egipto que hacía una discusión sobre la complejidad de la cultura. Mi segundo libro, Writing Women's Worlds, enmarcado como una etnografía feminista, usé historias individuales para hacer un argumento más amplio sobre "escribir en contra de la cultura" (escribir contra las tipificaciones de la estructura social y la forma cultural al prestar atención a argumentos internos, vidas individuales y complejos dinámica) como un medio para intervenir en discursos vejidos sobre una región maligna, así como desafiar las representaciones feministas transnacionales de las mujeres en las sociedades árabes. Mi tercera etnografía, Dramas of Nationhood: The Politics of Television in Egypt, una contribución a la antropología de las naciones y a la etnografía de los medios, exploró las tensiones entre las desigualdades sociales que aquejan a las naciones y las formas culturales que aspiran a abordarlas. En varios libros editados, así como en mis enseñanzas, he seguido estos temas para examinar cuestiones de género y modernidad en la teoría poscolonial, de la antropología y los medios globales, y de la violencia en la memoria nacional / cultural. Actualmente, como parte de un esfuerzo para utilizar la antropología para contribuir a debates políticos más amplios, me estoy centrando en las críticas de las afirmaciones universalistas del liberalismo y en los dilemas éticos y políticos implicados en la circulación internacional de los discursos de los derechos humanos en general, y musulmanes los derechos de las mujeres en particular.
