Bodies of death: about affects of a body in fieldwork

Abstract

Without getting into details of what it was an exhaustive field work for this essay, I would like to venture an intuition that will guide this work: the objects –those inert but alive [including myself– emerge and sink into attributes and properties that are given by the landscapes they lay on. In this essay, I only intend to reflect on the field work developed in the cemetery, and specifically focus the attention on the shapes that the researcher’s body (my body) acquires while this development takes place.
