Rincones Recorridos is an initiative launched in 2019 to create ethnographic documentaries. The aim objective is to raise awareness of issues relating to social and cultural anthropology through screenings and discussions of our audiovisual projects. Rincones Recorridos is aimed at academic researchers, university students, students in other educational settings and the general public.
During the documentary-making process and the screenings, I aim to make a positive impact on the societies where I work and to encourage critical thinking by fostering a greater understanding of cultural diversity. By creating materials for this purpose, the project reflects an applied approach to the field of Social and Cultural Anthropology.
The projects are based on the following intersecting elements:
- The gender perspective
Exploring a diverse range of cultural settings, I am keen to observe and understand how different gender identities are established and what social roles people occupy according to the categories they are assigned. The voices of women and dissident identities are present even in audiovisual content where gender is not the main theme. The gender perspective is a key component of our post-screening discussions and working materials.
- The community dimension
The projects are generally oriented towards minority issues. Power relations as well as the contexts of the reproduction of life and different forms of subsistence are topics on which I pay special attention.
- Economic and Political Anthropology
