Notas al pie

"Anthropologists indeed stand behind the natives. But we are not so much reading over their shoulders as we are writing on their backs."
Trouillot...

Pos-data:

Aunque las razas no existen, el racismo sí.

Nicht erklaren, nicht verstehen...

" The fieldworker examines his tools and finds his camera inadequate. Most importantly, his very field of vision now seems blurred. Yet he needs to come back home with a picture. It's pouring rain out there, and the mosquitoes are starting to bite. In desperation, the baffled anthropologist burns his notes [jajaja] to create a moment of light, moves his face against the flame, closes his eyes and, hands grasping the camera, takes a picture of himself."

Trouillot...
Maybe one day/they he will come back.
