| Sumario: | In our experience in addressing the issues of female aging, health and care, we have assumed a gender perspective as an analytical category that allows us to account for the cultural and social construction of genres. From this position the need arises to ask ourselves about how to transform a social problem into a conceptual - epistemological problem.
Conceiving social research as a process that involves taking a series of decisions and carrying out certain practices, we highlight its value as a means of knowing, explaining, describing, analyzing and understanding. The epistemological approach builds the field and the intervention, so that making research a reflective work is essential.
In our interest to work from the "situated knowledge" developed by Haraway (1991), we decided to explicitly assume a point of view to look at reality and recognize, at the same time, that there is no knowledge that is capable of reflecting a neutral reality.
In this presentation we will try to carry out a critical analysis of a research experience, its theoretical problematization and the emerging ones arising from reflective activity in the field from the researchers' perspective, as well as its scope as tools for social intervention. |
