- Title
Retrospectivas etnográficas: El Centro Umbandista Reino Da Mata de Montevideo desde la decolonialidad.

- Abstract
This article problematizes --from a decolonial perspective-- the construction of knowledge and practices manifested within the framework of ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2017 at the Centro Umbandista Reino Da Mata in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. The need to leave the epistemological prison becomes evident by presenting excerpts from the field diary and interviews. Remaining within the epistemological prison hindered knowing and visibilizing the multiple forms of coloniality that were part of the ethnography. Those forms of coloniality --of power, knowledge, being and religion-- manifest in the choice, approach and interpretations of the topic performed upon that religious center's practices and beliefs.
