Filming the reparation, the reparators and the reparation places in West Bahia (Brazil) : the dramaturgy of reparation
Résumé
In the context of a research project about mechanics in the territories of Brazilian agribusiness, we filmed 7 portraits of reparators in Correntina region (West Bahia). Here, we present several aspects of the method which concerned both the reparator and the filmer. Focusing on sounds, reparation settings, physical comitment, collaboration and concurrence relationships and narrative tension permit to negociate a unique position for the researcher in order to access to a certain intimacy of the reparator and to reveal the dramaturgy of the reparation scenes.
