Abstract:
The year 2020 was strange for Indigenous movements in Brazil. On-site gatherings were cancelled due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Indigenous movements, in connection with Indigenous media initiatives, aimed at occupying the screens instead. An abundance of live streams popped up on diverse social media platforms.

The year 2020 was strange for Indigenous movements in Brazil. On-site gatherings were cancelled due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Indigenous movements, in connection with Indigenous media initiatives, aimed at occupying the screens instead. An abundance of live streams popped up on diverse social media platforms. During April 2020, online observations were carried out using an approach inspired by digital ethnography. This article offers a discussion about collecting research data within this changing context. The main aim is to reflect upon online observations as research practice and live streams as sources for scholarly investigation. Additionally, this paper discusses how to think about presence, place and temporality in the research context. 2020 var ett underligt år för urfolksrörelser i Brasilien. På grund av utbrottet av Covid-19 ställdes många av deras planerade sammankomster och träffar in. Istället höll urfolksgrupper massor av “liveströmmar” på sociala medieplattformar. Den här artikeln bygger på digital etnografi där sådana liveströmmar studeras. Online-observationerna genomfördes i april 2020. Artikeln bidrar med en diskussion om att samla in forskningsdata i sådana föränderliga sammanhang. Huvudsyftet är att reflektera över online-observationer som forskningspraxis och liveströmmar som källor för vetenskapliga undersökningar. Dessutom diskuteras hur forskare kan tänka om närvaro, plats och temporalitet i sådana kontexter. (Read More)
