Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of the contexts of production of an ethnography carried out in the year 2008, during the navigation of a Navy warship that patrolled the Argentine Sea’s 200 miles. The work has the following objectives: on the one hand, to identify certain perceptions and experiences that oriented relations between the military and the anthropologist. On the other hand, to recognize how these relationships affected the production of ethnographic knowledge. Finally, these results will be considered in relation to theoretical and methodological debates over the dialogic nature of anthropological knowledge and the so-called anthropology “at home”.
