Resumo:
From the African internal frontier to the extractive global frontier: some reflexions on ethnographic time
Over the past two years, thanks to a project funded by an international Research project, I have been able to pay three visits (the last one ended just a few weeks before we first heard of COVID-19) to the fieldsite in which I had conducted substantial fieldwork in 1992-2003. Going back to the field, sharing memories of my early fieldwork with my many Baga-speaking (and other Guinean) friends and colleagues, and seeing the Baga lands transform themselves from a mangrove “internal frontier” (in Turner and Kopytoff’s sense) to being a global extractive industry frontier, almost a “waste land” with a most uncertain future, has given me a lot of food for thought on how we, humans, conceptualize land and time and we, anthropologists, our job and our history.
