Abstract
This paper examines some of the relationships between the ethnographic experience andknowledge that has been deployed on the ethnicity of the Great Chaco region in the first decadeof the XXIst century in the argentinian anthropology. Considering that it is through “the livedexperience” in the field that knowledge is produced, there are two conditions as interpretivefocus: the condition of displacement, otherness and space condition. It is argued that each ofthese conditions suggest to the recent ethnography of Gran Chaco, as field of experiences andpractices that are temporarily, politically and historically located in relation to configurations,anthropological trajectories and subjectivities, whose heterogeneity is intertwined with theparticularity of each lived experience in “the ethnographic field”. The Cartesian dual dimension ofthe field work is questionned and the article shows how the epistemological dispute, by the Chacoethnic alterity, is ascribed to specific forms of knowledge of the national anthropological academy.
