COSTA, Pedro. Artistic practices and urban space: renewing commitments to ethnographic observation. Etnográfica [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.2, pp.389-394. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.5395.

The dossier seeks to explore new paths about the contributions of ethnographic research to the knowledge of the relationship between artistic practices and urban space. Assuming a renewed commitment with a kind of ethnographic observation which is intimately engaged with the territories and communities that are the target of its research, the artists and artistic practices are mobilized as objects with an active role in the research processes about urban territories, exploring new heuristics and questioning the primacy of the investigator upon his research object. The contributions gathered explore different ways to do this approach, all of the three wagered in blurring the boundaries between artistic and ethnographic practices: using the artistic intervention as an active object of questioning and of reflexivity for the communities; using urban wandering and  urban ethnographic observation as forms of mapping and understanding the artistic practices; and mobilizing ethnographic research as a way to establish in a detailed and thorough mode the experiences and practices of urban artistic protagonists and their relationship with the territories.

Palavras-chave : urban; artistic practices; urban interventions; knowledge co-creation; territory; ethnographic research.
