Abstract
Based on a series of photographies and testimonies produced by homeless people living in Santiago, Chile, this paper aims to reflect on the epistemological, ethical and methodological issues regarding the production of those images when considered as representation devices for a subaltern otherness. By analyzing their possibilities as mechanism for the restitution of the “Right to a point of view”, this work tries to take distance from the hegemonic approaches of misery and spectacularizing as lens for analyzing poverty and thus defying “dominocentric” and “home centric” perspectives that are carried by authors, on the one hand, and so discussing ethnographic authority and the epistemic charge of the researcher persona, on the other.
