| Sumario: | The paper proposes, on the one hand, a reflection on the methodology of in anthropology. It analyzes how research practices and the disciplinary paradigm neither encourage nor require a systematic clarification of the implicit methodology. On the other hand, the prerogatives of the biographical method are presented, which allows for a sensitive ethnography which tries to be attentive to the "person" factor. Finally, some testimonies of current Wichís women from the Argentine Chaco in Misión Nueva Pompeya are introduced. These stories were mainly told in Spanish and one of them was translated from the Wichí by the author with a young Wichi student. In these testimonies the protagonists reflect on the meaning of some verbal expressions, propose notional translations and explain their contexts of use. |
