Paper long abstract:
What the ethnographers do? They draw!
Between fieldwork and home we find the sketchbook. Kind of documentation, memorization and sensual excursions. It's easy, with the pencil, stylo plume or with the collage of local newspapers scraps.
Jahuni Pallasma said that between the relation eye - hand - mind we can find deepness of our experiences. This triangle is drawing.
Sometimes someone say: drawing is for children or for professional artist. Why? Because sometimes the adults have problem with imagination. Drawing this is just a form of visual art. Drawing this is a way of thinking, working and life philosophy. Drawing take us from visual perspective to sensual dimension.
In this paper I propose critical analyse of few pages from my fieldwork sketchbooks and one exercise for you at home.
