This article proposes an investigation into the ways adopted and the effects of the gazes developed in their interactions between ‘teachers’ and ‘students’ of the subject Social Anthropology in a university course. Approaching the study of the classroom as a field situation proved fertile for questioning what it means to look in a university classroom. Using participant observation and photographic recording, we developed specific methodological strategies to analyze different types of registers and to produce data that allowed us to apprehend dimensions of the constitution of social relations in the classroom, taken it as a social form. In articulation with a theoretical field that puts anthropology and education in dialogue, the agential quality and the material dimension of the gazes became evident, organised around the conflicts and associations that constitute the subjects in the interactions. Photographs and their elicitation proved to be a central epistemological, methodological and textual strategy. The photographic record and the reflexivities to which it gave rise, took on a protagonism that revealed the intertwined constitution of objects, subjects, gestures, displacements and environments that produce this social form called, in educational institutions, class. It also showed that the configuration of the classroom, in the classroom, is tributary to the politics of the gaze. We were able to identify three conflicting and intertwined politics of the gaze. The incessant quest to constitute teaching authority, the shaping of a collective student subject and the emergence of a mode that we call looking at each other and looking at ourselves. By investigating the way students look at themselves in the classroom, linked to the objects they manipulate and from which they form a body, we hypothesize about the conditions in which it is possible for a collective force to emerge that problematizes teaching authority in the classroom. With these conceptual tools, we return to the incident that opens the article and briefly recount the outcome of the episode, inscribing the type of resolution it had in the dynamics of the politics of the gaze explained here and in the alternatives that can be gestated in relation to it. There remains a final reflection that the incidents of our field and our findings may have for the Teaching of Anthropology and the relationship between teaching and research in Social Anthropology. |

Este artículo propone una indagación en las formas que adoptan y los efectos que tienen las miradas que desarrollan en sus interacciones “profesores/as” y “cursantes” de la materia Antropología Social en una carrera universitaria. Abordar el estudio de la clase como situación de campo resultó fértil para interrogar qué significa mirar en un salón de clases universitario. Recurriendo a la observación participante y dentro de ella al registro fotográfico desarrollamos estrategias metodológicas específicas para analizar distintos tipos de registros y producir datos, que nos permitieron aprehender dimensiones de la constitución de las relaciones sociales en la clase, tomada ésta como una forma social. En articulación con un campo teórico que pone en diálogo la antropología y la educación, se hizo evidente la cualidad agencial y la dimensión material de las miradas, organizadas en torno a los conflictos y asociaciones que constituyen a los sujetos en las interacciones. Las fotografías y su elicitación resultaron una estrategia epistemológica, metodológica y textual central. El registro fotográfico y las reflexividades a las que dió lugar, tomaron un protagonismo que reveló la constitución entrelazada de objetos, sujetos, gestos, desplazamientos y ambientes que producen esta forma social llamada, en las instituciones educativas, clase. Puso también en evidencia que la configuración de la clase, en el aula, es tributaria de la política de las miradas. Pudimos identificar tres políticas de la mirada conflictivamente entrelazadas. La búsqueda incesante de constituir la autoridad docente, la conformación de un sujeto estudiantil colectivo y la emergencia de un modo al que denominamos mirarse y mirarnos. Indagando en la forma del mirar de estudiantes en el aula, vinculados a los objetos que manipulan y a partir de los cuales forman un cuerpo, hipotetizamos sobre las condiciones en las cuales es posible que emerja una fuerza colectiva que problematice la autoridad docente en el aula. Con estas herramientas conceptuales regresamos al incidente que abre el artículo y relatamos brevemente el desenlace del episodio, inscribiendo el tipo de resolución que tuvo en la dinámica de la política de la mirada aquí explicada y en las alternativas que pueden gestarse en relación con ella. Queda una reflexión final que los incidentes de nuestro campo y nuestros hallazgos puedan tener para la Enseñanza de la Antropología y la relación entre enseñanza e investigación en Antropología Social. Este artigo propõe uma investigação sobre as formas adotadas e os efeitos dos olhares desenvolvidos em suas interações entre “professores” e “alunos” da disciplina Antropologia Social em um curso universitário. Abordar o estudo da sala de aula como uma situação de campo mostrou-se fértil para questionar o que significa olhar em uma sala de aula universitária. Utilizando a observação participante e o registro fotográfico, desenvolvemos estratégias metodológicas específicas para analisar diferentes tipos de registros e produzir dados que nos permitiram apreender dimensões da constituição das relações sociais na sala de aula, tomada como forma social. Em articulação com um campo teórico que coloca em diálogo a antropologia e a educação, evidenciou-se a qualidade agencial e a dimensão material dos olhares, organizados em torno dos conflitos e associações que constituem os sujeitos nas interações. As fotografias e sua elicitação provaram ser uma estratégia epistemológica, metodológica e textual central. O registro fotográfico e as reflexividades a que deu origem assumiram um protagonismo que revelou a constituição entrelaçada de objetos, sujeitos, gestos, deslocamentos e ambientes que produzem essa forma social chamada, nas instituições educacionais, de aula. Mostrou também que a configuração da sala de aula, na sala de aula, é tributária da política do olhar. Conseguimos identificar três políticas do olhar conflitantes e entrelaçadas. A busca incessante para constituir a autoridade docente, a formação de um sujeito estudantil coletivo e o surgimento de uma maneira de olhar para o outro e olhar para nós mesmos. Ao investigar a maneira como os alunos olham para si mesmos em sala de aula, vinculados aos objetos que manipulam e a partir dos quais formam um corpo, levantamos hipóteses sobre as condições em que é possível o surgimento de uma força coletiva que problematiza a autoridade docente em sala de aula. Com essas ferramentas conceituais, voltamos ao incidente que abre o artigo e relatamos brevemente o desfecho do episódio, inscrevendo o tipo de resolução que ele teve na dinâmica da política do olhar explicada aqui e nas alternativas que podem ser gestadas em relação a ele. Resta uma reflexão final que os incidentes de nosso campo e nossas descobertas podem ter para o Ensino de Antropologia e a relação entre ensino e pesquisa em Antropologia Social. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/14547 10.34096/cas.i60.14547 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/14547/13474 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/14547/14019 Derechos de autor 2024 Laura Zapata, Sergio Litrenta, Diana Milstein Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 60 (2024): Aprender antropología: diálogos entre la docencia y la investigación en los procesos formativos universitarios; 71-91 1850-275X 0327-3776 Policy of gazing Teaching Anthropology Photography Política de las miradas Enseñanza de la Antropología Fotografía Política do olhar Ensino da Antropologia Fotografia “When Sergio takes a photo of you”: Photographs and politics of gaze in university Anthropology classrooms “Cuando Sergio te toma una foto”.
