| Resumo: | The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the place of race in field research, especially in the researcher-interlocutor relationship. The questions presented here are based on the doctoral research I am developing with trans people from Belém-PA, organized in the Paraense Network of Trans People (REPPAT). The race issue appears mainly in the interlocution with Rafael Carmo, a black trans man, in dialogues and situations in the field involving our raciality. I thus seek to reflect on this experience in articulation with anthropological theory about the author's presence in the field, as well as the relations between "estrangement" and "distancing" between anthropologist and interlocutors in the context of Urban Anthropology. Finally, I question the "other-self" relationship in field research crossed by the blackness of the anthropologist and the interlocutor, to think about possible "other-other" or "subject-subject" dimensions. |
