Following the red-headed howler monkeys in the urban landscapes of the Lami neighborhood, Porto Alegre: visual ethnography of human-animal relations in the city

Keywords:

city, howler monkeys, extinction, urban ecoanthropology

Abstract

The photoethnographic essay that I present arises from my experience of street ethnography in the Lami neighborhood (Porto Alegre), wich sought to understand the complex interspecies relationships maintained between local residents and howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba clamitans) in a context marked by high biodiversity present in city landscapes. In these terms, the ethnographic experience required the anthropologist in the field to pay attention to human interactions, expanding the scope of participant observation and opening reflective horizons for urban ecoanthropology.
