Between Regions: Conversation with Pedro Tomé and Andrés Fábregas

Interview with
  • Andres Fabregas Puig
  • Pedro Tomé

  • Rafael Omar Mojica González

Pedro and Andrés talked about the ways of interacting when researching in the regions: drinking beers, playing cards, telling jokes and other ways to get close to the people under study to talk, play and laugh with them, and at the same time get to know their culture and get to know them. These interactions give rise to affection and friendships. They are coexistence in the heat of a campfire in which each researcher "must accept a certain alteration of his or her vision of the world," as Andrés pointed out. An interculturality that goes back and forth.
