ResumoespanolEste articulo examina dos casos de investigacion antropologica en dos comunidades tribales del este de la India. El trabajo cooperativo entre antropologo y artistas se propuso preservar y mejorar tradiciones visuales y de arte performativo promoviendo el trabajo artistico como un ejercicio de construccion de la imaginacion, y de la produccion artesanal como modos de crear una base economica para mujeres campesinas. La investigacion y la sensibilizacion hacia la estructura social, la religion, la distribucion del poder, el genero y la economia fueron ingredientes necesarios para proponer nuevas iniciativas que, si bien tuvieron el potencial de incrementar los ingresos, tambien fueron disruptivos de las relaciones sociales. EnglishThis paper examines two cases of anthropological work among two tribal communities in eastern India in which cooperative work between an anthropologist and an artist was aimed at preserving and enhancing local visual and performing arts traditions, encouraging art work as an imagination-building exercise, and stimulating art and craft production as a means of creating an economic base for rural women. Research and sensitivity towards social structure, religion and traditional symbolism, the local political arrangements and distribution of power, gender, and the existing economy were necessary ingredients in proposing new initiatives which while they had the potential to increase incomes could also be disruptive of social relationships.
