I10-R372-article-132322024-11-04T18:45:07Z So far, so close. Ethics and emotions in fieldwork in a tragic context Tan lejos, tan cerca. Ética y emociones en el trabajo de campo en un contexto trágico Zenobi, Diego ethics emotions fieldwork tragedy victims ética emociones trabajo de campo tragedia víctimas In this paper I will look into the relationships carried out along fieldwork in a tragic and deeply distressing context. I carried on my fieldwork in a group of relatives of those killed in the fire at the stadium “Republic Cromañón”. Throughout this process, my emotions and my assumptions about the death and how to relate with that relatives, crystallized in a decision of ethical nature: I would avoid certain behaviors and attitudes (give my opinion in their debates, being on certain certain events and spaces, publicly expose my distress, etc.), which I considered as the exclusive prerogative of the parents of the dead young kids. Consequently, I adopt a behavior that did not match with some parents expectations on my presence among them, and contributed to generate tensions and suspicions about me. I will analyze how my feelings and ideas about death contributed to shape my position as researcher on the field. Here I refer to Elias who has analyzed how contemporary societies represented this phenomenon as one that transforms deeply the life of the living people. En el presente trabajo me propongo indagar en los vínculos que se traman en el trabajo de campo cuando el mismo es llevado adelante en un contexto trágico y profundamente angustiante. A lo largo de mi estadía en un grupo de familiares de los fallecidos en el incendio del estadio “República Cromañón”, mis emociones y mis supuestos sobre la muerte y sobre cómo relacionarme con quienes estaban vinculados a ella por haber perdido un hijo trágicamente, cristalizaron en una decisión de carácter ético. Así, opté por evitar ciertos comportamientos y actitudes (opinar en sus debates, asistir a ciertos eventos, exponer públicamente mi angustia, etc.), a los que consideraba como prerrogativas de los familiares. De este modo, adopté una conducta que no coincidía con las expectativas que algunos tenían sobre mi presencia allí, lo que contribuyó a generar tensiones y sospechas sobre mi persona. Analizaré aquí el modo en que mis ideas y sentimientos sobre la muerte colaboraron a modelar mi posición como investigador en el terreno. Retomo las elaboraciones de Elias quien ha estudiado el modo en que las sociedades contemporáneas se representan aquel fenómeno que al decretar el final de una persona, transforma profundamente la vida de los vivos.

In this paper I will look into the relationships carried out along fieldwork in a tragic and deeply distressing context. I carried on my fieldwork in a group of relatives of those killed in the fire at the stadium “Republic Cromañón”. Throughout this process, my emotions and my assumptions about the death and how to relate with that relatives, crystallized in a decision of ethical nature: I would avoid certain behaviors and attitudes (give my opinion in their debates, being on certain certain events and spaces, publicly expose my distress, etc.), which I considered as the exclusive prerogative of the parents of the dead young kids. Consequently, I adopt a behavior that did not match with some parents expectations on my presence among them, and contributed to generate tensions and suspicions about me. I will analyze how my feelings and ideas about death contributed to shape my position as researcher on the field. Here I refer to Elias who has analyzed how contemporary societies represented this phenomenon as one that transforms deeply the life of the living people. |
