Husserl and Spatiality: A Phenomenological Ethnography of Space
Friday, April 1, 2022 9:15am to 5:15pm
About this Event
Accompanying the panel discussion and book launch of Husserl and Spatiality: A Phenomenological Ethnography of Space, black and white photographs are exhibited which were taken during Tao DuFour's fieldwork in the city of Salvador, Brazil during the summer of 2010.
Photographic documentation constitutes an important, although latent, aspect of the book's descriptive intention and argument. They offer photographically mediated insight into the lived experience of Afro-Brazilian religious praxes. Specifically, they document reuniões or "gatherings" that were part of the ritual structure of an Afro-Brazilian religion called Candomblé.
The field notes and sketches exhibited at Cornell AAP were taken from DuFour's field notebook, used during his ethnographic fieldwork. They, together with the exhibited photographs, capture significant aspects of lived experience in the field and indicate the methodological dimensions of DuFour's fieldwork. They offer insight into the concrete workings of fieldwork, in which writing functioned as a mode of experience.
