Resumen

El artículo argumenta que el trabajo del cineasta tailandés Apichatpong Weerasethakul proporciona herramientas conceptuales y metodológicas que pueden contribuir a re-pensar el cine etnográfico más allá de la representación. Las películas de Weerasethakul emergen de una vinculación para-etnográfica con personas y lugares, dependen de métodos participativos y operan como dispositivos de acogida para una multiplicidad de seres e historias subalternas. Estos films proponen un “realismo performativo” (Ingawanij 2013) —inventivo y a menudo animista— que puede entenderse como político en el sentido de que crea nuevas condiciones de posibilidad y espacio para múltiples ontologías. El artículo conceptualiza esta orientación en relación a la producción de “ensamblajes de enunciación colectiva” (Deleuze y Guattari 1986); así como la idea de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (2010) de “tomar en serio” la ontología de otros, es decir, de los otros mundos que ellos experimentan.
