| Summary: | This article problematizes some research experiences that traversed an ethnography with 42 players from a community esports scene in Brazil. Examining the transformations in the knowledge-power relations outlined in the conduction of that study, the article explores the central role played by epistemic-methodological shifts that required putting the research in motion and discussions about a decolonial ethnography done. Based on some field experiences, it is argued that these shared experiences functioned as formative moments that, for this reason, encourage fieldwork in esports as a formative process and as an (inter)epistemic encounter and dialogue. |
