Etyka anarchistyczna jako wyzwanie dla etnografii. Zarys teoretyczny

Abstract

This article aims to sketch out two spaces in which the ethnographic practice overlaps, or may overlap, with an anarchist ethic – the sphere of everyday life and a non-institutional process of radical/ social knowledge production. From our anarchist point of view, the supposition about the necessity and naturalness of hierarchical modes of societal organization becomes an obstacle that abridges potential perspectives within the research process, as well as reproduces the existing power relations. Therefore, we are calling for a practice of conscious and reflexive retreat from the privileged position of the researcher. We argue that an active and ongoing transformation of “field relationships” can activate the potential for a qualitatively different knowledges to emerge, i.e. knowledges socially constructed along a movement of disrupting the hierarchically organized spaces of everyday life.
