Abstract
This article presents an analysis of shared ethnographic audiovisual work as a practice of anarchist anthropology. We examine and exemplify how this approach aims at building horizontal and collaborative knowledge between researchers and actors, for promoting democracy in research work and removing hierarchies in the audiovisual production process. Additionally, anarchist anthropology is understood as a research approach challenging authority and hierarchies, thus promoting some real collaboration between participants, and prioritizing ethical, social, and political values over academic productivity. We present research work dealing with shared ethnographic audiovisual work, as well as documentary pieces illustrating how shared ethnographic audiovisual work can be applied. With this, we aim to show that shared ethnographic audiovisual work is an anarchist practice applied to anthropology for both generating scientific knowledge and strengthening trust and participative relations, and for a critical analysis of political, social, and cultural processes.
Keywords: ethnographic audiovisual works, shared audiovisual work, anarchist anthropology.
