Rereading today Malinowski's masterpiece, The Argonauts, we come across a foundational perspective of ethnographic work understood as the task of being "chroniclers" of alien realities, and at the same time we come across certain concepts --natives, cultures, mentalities-- that have been deconstructed, redefined or even dismissed among contemporary anthropologists. However, his descriptions of the «imponderables of real life» remain a valid model of how to graphically account for the complexity of the undocumented realities we study, including our own. I return in this essay to the words of several contemporary anthropologists who would agree with Malinowski that the «ultimate goal is to enrich... our own vision of the world», but who also emphasize the centrality of personal experience in ethnographic work, as well as the need to historicize our ethnographic descriptions, two aspects that were not considered in The Argonauts.

Intertwined environmental and social impacts manifest a disrespect for environmental and social values intrinsic to reality. Discovering these values provides an opportunity to foster behavior changes towards a fair and sustainable culture and society. The authors analyze some cultural causes of present-day unsustainability and advance that the beauty found in nature and human beings may reveal actual natural and human values formerly unseen. Finding out these values may challenge personal behavior, inviting to commit oneself to a more respectful lifestyle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How can personal filmmaking capture the historical experience? Having this question in mind, and aiming at revealing a certain politics of remembering, I set off the collective and subjective potency of self-filmmaking that emerges from various strategies for evoking, constituting and depicting memory. A short inventory of Brazilian films and filmmakers is sketched in order to guide the identification of three figures of selffilmmaking - "self-trace", "becomingmemory", and "processuality" - that articulate together a method and a filmic writing that engenders a temporal texture in which memory stands in a creative relation to forgetfulness and history takes a fluid shape.

The current article intends to analyze the problem of the construction of competence and authority in the Histories of Polybius. In this way, this Greek historian postulates the necessity for any pragmatic history to use some kinds of sources especially, and we analyse this selection of sources in order to connect this option with the construction of competence and authority by this Greek historian. The autopsía and autopátheia, as historical sources, are defended by a politician with military and political experience who is writing the history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
