A autoetnografia como opção metodológica no estudo antropológico das situações de vulnerabilidade: exemplo de um caso de hipotiroidismo
Resumo
Resumo: O antropólogo confronta-se, desde sempre, com a incapacidade de participar da condição das pessoas que vivem situações de vulnerabilidade, concretamente, devidas a problemas de saúde, ao sofrimento de situações de violência ou mesmo à experiência da clausura. Neste artigo argumenta-se que este ângulo morto da análise antropológica pode ser relativamente superado através de uma abordagem autoetnográfica. Descrevendo a sua experiência pessoal num caso de falência da função tiroideia, o autor fornece indicadores que poderão ajudar a analisar em profundidade as experiências das pessoas que vivem situações de vulnerabilidade.

Autoethnography as a methodological option in the anthropological study in situations of vulnerability: an example on a case of hypothyroidism
Abstract: Anthropologists have always been confronted with the inability to participate in the condition of people living in situations of vulnerability, concretely, due to health problems, the suffering of situations of violence or even the experience of closure. In this paper it is argued that this blind spot in anthropological analysis can be relatively surpassed through an auto-ethnographic approach. Describing his personal experience in a case of thyroid function failure, the author provides indicators that may help to analyze in depth the experiences of people living in situations of vulnerability.
Keywords: Autoethnography; Help-seeking behaviors; Vulnerability; Discursivity.
