• Resumen

  • As well as other tools used to disseminate research (such as books, articles, CDs and their booklets, etc.) ethnomusicological documentary films are texts that involve the authorial responsibility -both ethical and academic- of their makers. If on the one hand ethnographic and more particularly ethnomusicological writing has established specific techniques and rules for its language, with tools that allow for source verification, addition of bibliographical references, etc., on the other hand this has not happened with documentary cinema, where the application of such conventions is much more difficult. This article intends to provide some reflections around the basic grammars involved and to introduce a discussion about their principles and guidelines.
