Ética, anonimato y distancia ficcional: la “crítica ficcionada” aplicada al estudio del patrimonio.
- Authors

- Abstract
Fiction has been used as a tool for experimental ethnographic writing in an assiduous manner since the crisis of representation in anthropology in the 1980s. In this article we analyze a less discussed aspect of ethnographic fiction: the possibilities it offers to think, from another angle, the problem of the anonymity of the sources and the ethical responsibility towards the people who are the subjects of ethnographic research. Specifically, a fictional account is proposed to account for the use of participatory processes in heritage management, “Memoires of Agripina”. The protagonist narrates in first person a wide repertoire or experiences related to heritage. The genre of “ficto-criticism” is considered as a methodological, theoretical and political device that questions and reflects on heritage and social reality.
