In this article I consider dilemmas and methodological decisions which I have taken on throughout research and activism processes at prisons of the province of Santa Fe (Argentina) for 10 years. I propose to analyse the prison scenery as a field where to form a research problem and develop the practice of ethnography across two aspects: one is the decisions regarding how to build relationships where there are noticeable power struggles among areas; the other is the moral dilemmas likely to emerge in the research ¬¬ –particularly among women investigators– in an eminently violent and unequal environment. This reflexivity contributes to weigh the importance of making theoretical decisions pointing to produce a comprehensive yet localized approach of the problem under study and to build multiple relationships with people from diverse angles and positions within the ethnographic field. |

I28-R145-8377_oai2025-11-17 Narciso, Lorena 2021-03-08 In this article I consider dilemmas and methodological decisions which I have taken on throughout research and activism processes at prisons of the province of Santa Fe (Argentina) for 10 years. I propose to analyse the prison scenery as a field where to form a research problem and develop the practice of ethnography across two aspects: one is the decisions regarding how to build relationships where there are noticeable power struggles among areas; the other is the moral dilemmas likely to emerge in the research ¬¬ –particularly among women investigators– in an eminently violent and unequal environment. This reflexivity contributes to weigh the importance of making theoretical decisions pointing to produce a comprehensive yet localized approach of the problem under study and to build multiple relationships with people from diverse angles and positions within the ethnographic field. En este artículo pongo en consideración dilemas y decisiones metodológicas que fui asumiendo a lo largo de procesos de investigación y militancia en cárceles de la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina) durante 10 años. Propongo analizar el ámbito carcelario en tanto espacio de construcción de un problema de investigación y de desarrollo de la práctica etnográfica, transversalizado en dos aspectos: por un lado, las decisiones respecto de la construcción de vínculos allí donde se evidencian marcadas disputas de poder entre sectores; por otro lado, los dilemas morales susceptibles de emerger en la investigación –y en particular en las mujeres investigadoras- en un ámbito eminentemente violento y desigual. Esta reflexividad contribuye a ponderar la importancia de tomar decisiones teóricas orientadas a generar lecturas amplias pero situadas del problema de estudio y a construir múltiples vínculos con personas que ocupan distintas posturas y posiciones en el campo etnográfico. Neste artigo, eu considero os dilemas e decisões metodológicas que assumi ao longo dos processos de pesquisa e militância nas prisões da província de Santa Fé (Argentina) durante 10 anos. Eu proponho analisar o ambiente da prisão como um espaço para a construção de um problema de pesquisa e para o desenvolvimento da prática etnográfica, com transversalidade em dois aspectos: por um lado, as decisões relativas à construção de vínculos em que as disputas de poder entre setores tornam-se evidentes; por outro lado, os dilemas morais que podem surgir na pesquisa, e em particular nas mulheres pesquisadoras, em um ambiente eminentemente violento e desigual. Esta reflexão contribui para ponderar a importância da tomada de decisões teóricas orientadas para gerar leituras amplas, mas localizadas, do problema do estudo e para construir múltiplos vínculos com pessoas com diversas visões e posições diferentes no campo etnográfico. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/8377 10.34096/runa.v42i1.8377 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/8377/8795 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/8377/8977 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 42 No. 1 (2021): Methodological issues, dilemmas and challenges in research on public security, violence(s) and activism; 209-226 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 42 Núm. 1 (2021): Cuestiones, dilemas y desafíos metodológicos en investigaciones sobre seguridad pública, violencia(s) y activismos; 209-226 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 42 n. 1 (2021): Questões metodológicas, dilemas e desafios na pesquisa sobre segurança pública, violência(s) e ativismos; 209-226 1851-9628 0325-1217 Prisons Ethnography Moral dilemmas Penitenciary field Epistemological surveillance Cárceles Etnografía Dilemas morales Campo penitenciario Vigilancia epistemológica Prisões Etnografia Dilemas morais Campo penitenciário Vigilância epistemológica Becoming an ethnographer at prison: Reflections on the theoretical, methodological and subjective process of forming a research problem Hacerse etnógrafa en la cárcel: Reflexiones sobre el proceso teórico, metodológico y subjetivo de construir un problema de estudio Tornar-se etnógrafa na prisão: Reflections on the theoretical, methodological and subjective process of forming a research problem info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo enviado a un dossier temático https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=runa&d=8377_oai |
