ABSTRACT

CDC [Conversación de Campo] is a working system, a strategy to learn and communicate. We use art and ethnography as tools to create meaning and share it, not as ends in themselves. The aim was to establish an approach to anthropology from each of their respective disciplinary fields and various countries of residence through a series of conversations, literature reviews, and audio-visual responses discussed regularly via Skype. The idea of culture as a reality constructed by all members of society made the author see the organic, permeable character of communities, including their cultural identity. Mexico, which are characterized by personal creations that combine their imaginary with parts of different real animals. As Chantal Mouffe says, all art is political, because it either contributes to maintaining the social order or focuses on its destruction or questioning. CDC proposed a new perspective from which to critically observe the social, political, and cultural contexts in which we live.
