A antropologia se distancia da história quando adopta a observação participante como alicerce da autoridade
etnográfica. Partindo desse entendimento e das problemáticas metodológicas suscitadas em torno da pesquisa
sobre a Irmandade de Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos de Quixeramobim, existente no período
colonial no Brasil, colocamos em discussão as possibilidades que se abrem ao texto etnográfico quando se adoptam
fontes alternativas de pesquisa tais como os arquivos e a memória oral para se descrever uma configuração
social determinada. O intuito é elaborar algumas reflexões, a partir dessas fontes, em torno de uma etnografia da
Irmandade em questão que intitulámos de retrospectiva.
Anthropology distances itself from history when it adopts the participant observation as a foundation of ethnographic authority. Based on this understanding and on the methodological issues surrounding the research on the brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black Men of Quixeramobim, existing in the colonial period in Brazil, we bring into discussion the possibilities opened for the ethnographic text, when alternative research sources are adopted to describe a particular social setting, such as historical documents and oral memory. Our intention is to develop some thoughts around the ethnography of the brotherhood in question, based on these sources, which we have entitled as “retrospective”.
