"Revealing ethnographic mediations through reflexive writing: A collaborative exploration of tarot and astrology as a not-knowing approach" Human Affairs, vol. 31, no. 3, 2021, pp. 252-261. https://doi.org/10.1515/humaff-2021-00211337-401X10.1515/humaff-2021-0021https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/109345In order to develop a collaborative experience of reflexive writing, this article explores the ethnographic process through two communication devices used by the authors in their respective fieldwork: tarot readings and evolutionary astrology. Reflecting on their distinct (if not opposing) backgrounds, the authors explore and interpret how their different backgrounds and conversational devices shape their ethnographic experience as a process of revealing the unknown, following the not-knowing approach (Anderson, 1997). The dialogic exchange also reveals how the not-knowing approach affects the collaborative aspect of the reflexive writing experience.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1515/humaff-2021-0021https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/humaff-2021-0021/htmlopen accessAutoetnografíaTarotAstrologíaReligiónEspiritualidadCollaborative writingAutoethnographyAstrologyNot-knowing approachSymbolic languageLogicPostmodern therapyAntropología (Sociología)Investigación socialMagia y brujeríaReligiones no cristianas5101.08 Magia5101.10 Religión5101.12 Simbolismo6301.10 Sociología de la Religión6302.04 Métodos de Investigación Social61 Psicología
