Portuguese term

etnografada

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Anthropology
"...e considerando a realidade etnografada, parto do pressuposto de que esta só pode ser compreendida em contexto, é socialmente compartilhada e, sobretudo, é sempre apresentada de forma ambígua."

"A celebração da (nossa) história por si só é merecedora de ser etnografada porque são os seus súbditos que fizeram e vão fazendo o primeiro rei de Portugal."

"texto que incluiu a voz da etnografada bem como a da própria antropóloga, que surge, sobretudo, nas introduções e conclusões de cada um dos capítulos."

Discussion

Vitor Pinteus Oct 14, 2014:
@Rodrigo, @Danik I believe that the occurrence of "the etnografada" in 3rd sentence actually remains the verb: it is a sentence in which the subject is omitted, and in fact the phrase refers to "a person etnografada". See the note I added meanwhile.
Richard Purdom Oct 14, 2014:
You're right Rodrigo. However, the original PT sentence is wrong if it's talking about two voices, since 'surge' is singular.
Rodrigo Cayres Oct 13, 2014:
Different meaning in the third sentence Agree with Vitor. However, in the third sentence, the word "etnografada" seems to have a different meaning. By contrasting it with "antropóloga", I understand it refers to a particular person who was the subject of the study.

We could put it like this: (note that ethnographic study is much more used than ethnographical study)

"text that includes the voice of the subject of the ethnographic study as well as of the anthropologist herself..."

"Etnografada" is supposed to be the past participle of the verb "etnografar", which is a verb that does not seem to exist in PT (at least, both words don't appear in any dictionary).
This verb "etnografar" must intend to mean "to study / analyze / describe ethnographically", hence my suggestion.

It also occurs in English the literal equivalent word of "etnografada" which is "ethnographed" (past participle of the verb "to ethnograph"). Apparently, ethnography and ethnographers are using this word, but always and only as a verb.
Therefore, I consider that the occurrence of "a etnografada" in 3rd sentence actually remains as verb: it is a sentence in which the subject is omitted, and in fact the phrase refers to "a pessoa etnografada"/"the ethnographed person".

Please note that "etnografada"/"ethnographed" is not the same as the adjective "ethnographic" or ""ethnographical" (in PT, "etnográfico").
