The robbery of the house in the invention of the ethos of a Pima people of the Mexican northwest

Abstract

This paper is an approach to the mountain ethos in northwestern Mexico. The characterization depends on the situations derived from the researcher's own experience. From a case of fear due to the anthropologist's house robbery, social interactions that reflect the ethos of this mountain town were rebuilt. This methodology is an approach that assumes from the outset that anthropological research results are the product of the anthropologist's own experience without implying abandoning the objectivity announced as the basis of the classical perspective of empiricism that are disseminated in the technical manuals of the fieldwork in anthropology; this perspective is named radical empiricism. The proposal assumes that the interactions resulting from the fieldwork's emotions allow us to understand the ways of building knowledge.
