Between December 2nd and 3rd, 2024, in the H2 auditorium of the Basic Sector, the PUGNA research group - Ethnography, Power and Socialities of UFPA, with the support of FAPESPA, will hold its first research seminar: Mirante do Campo.
Open to the entire academic community, the seminar is focused on discussions about the methodological potential and challenges in anthropological field research. During the two-day event, we will have the presence of UFPA undergraduate and graduate professors and students involved in ethnographic practice, as well as external guests, who will come to Belém to participate in the event. Among them are Prof. José Guilherme Magnani, a researcher who has dedicated 40 years to consolidating the field of Urban Anthropology in the country and is the founder of the Laboratory of the Center for Urban Anthropology at USP; and Prof. Julian Simões, from the Ethics and Research Committee in Human Sciences at UFPR, will give an open class on ethics and regulations for field research, a debate that reaches researchers from many other areas of knowledge who also carry out empirical methodologies in their investigations.
In addition, the event will also launch the e-book “Fieldwork at the heart of undergraduate studies: experiences of young field researchers in the Amazon”, with texts produced by 50 undergraduate and graduate students participating in the Training Course in Anthropological Field Research and Ethnography at the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences at UFPA, in 2023. The ethnographic essays presented in the book were carried out based on the students' fieldwork in different places and contexts in the city of Belém during the course, which will also be presented during the event in Virtual Reality experiences developed by Tatu Studios, formed by UFPA undergraduates.
Held at the Arthur Napoleão Figueiredo Anthropology Laboratory and organized by PUGNA, the Training Course involved the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Postgraduate Program in Sociology and Anthropology, the Postgraduate Program in Anthropology and was supported by the research groups Confluentes (Study Group on Genders, Bodies and Sexualities in the Amazon), GATI (Research Group on Anthropologies of Work, Memories, Cities and Intersectionalities), Naverrâncias (Anthropology of Landscapes: Memories and Imaginaries in the Amazon), Ameríndia (Research Group on Indigenous Ethnology and Traditional Peoples and Communities) and Puxirum (Research Group on Ethnicity, Territory and Politics). This initiative received the award for best anthropology teaching project from the Brazilian Anthropology Association (ABA) in 2024.
