The usefulness of the closing meeting is illustrated with a double purpose: to weigh the impact of the research for the participants and to return the results, But the closing group made it possible to fulfil other objectives not initially envisaged, such as group comparison of results, accountability on the progress of the research, as well as the generation of dynamics of empathy and mutual validation. In short, the closing group went far beyond the initial expectations, serving as a learning experience for the researchers about the enormous potential of group techniques for the study of women’s experiences. Beyond what was initially envisaged, the focus group allowed for the establishment of other forms of relationships with the women participants, reducing the researcher/participant distance and facilitating more horizontal ways of generating knowledge.","PeriodicalId":54034,"journal":{"name":"Empiria","volume":"1 1","pages":"115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43319482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nos centramos no solo en como las emociones de quien investiga afectan el proceso de investigacion sino como el propio proceso afecta –emocionalmente- a las investigadoras. En concreto, explicamos las diferentes razones por las cuales es importante reconocer el papel de las emociones en los procesos de investigacion: metodologicas e instrumentales, eticas, analiticas, politicas y sanadoras. Tambien exponemos los inconvenientes de enfatizar las emociones en la investigacion. Partiendo del concepto de “reflexividad fuerte” de las epistemologias feministas, proponemos un viaje para reflexionar sobre las emociones y sus diferentes implicaciones en una investigacion academica: el impacto emocional de la investigacion en la investigadora (especialmente cuando se trabaja con poblacion vulnerable), el trabajo emocional que implica la investigacion y, en concreto, el trabajo de campo (y los dilemas eticos que puede implicar), las emociones como datos o evidencia y el conocimiento emocionalmente sentido. In this paper, we emphasize the epistemic value of emotions in the research process (to know what and know how). We focus not only on how the researcher's emotions affect the research process but also on how the process itself affects – emotionally- the researchers. Specifically, we explain the different reasons why it is important to recognize the role of emotions in research processes: methodological and instrumental, ethical, analytical, political and “healers”. We also expose the drawbacks of emphasizing emotions in research. Starting from the concept of \"strong reflexivity\" of feminist epistemologies, we propose a journey through emotions and their different implications in feminist research: the emotional impact of research on the researcher (especially when working with vulnerable population); the “emotional work” involved in the research and, specifically, in the fieldwork (and the ethical dilemmas that may involve); emotions as data/evidence and emotionally sensed knowledge.","PeriodicalId":54034,"journal":{"name":"Empiria","volume":"1 1","pages":"21-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46666889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this article is to make theoretical-epistemological reflections based on our articulated experiences of activist research with a feminist perspective. Based on a process of joint dialogical reflection, we share some clues about the ethical-political-affective dimensions of the research processes. To this end, we put our research processes in dialogue with feminist epistemologies and the exchange with other feminist thinkers-researchers. We propose to value affective relationships and friendship, which allow our research to be more habitable. We are committed to a reflexivity that allows itself to be affected and traversed by emotions as a tool for knowledge. We incorporate the semiotic-material analysis of our own bodies, not to fall into self-reference, but to contemplate their effects on the production of knowledge. In short, we propose other possibilities for the production of knowledge based on bodily experiences, affects and the diverse relationships that we weave and that sustain our research processes in order to collectively build an embodied and situated knowledge, committed to the constitution of livable ways of life.","PeriodicalId":54034,"journal":{"name":"Empiria","volume":"1 1","pages":"43-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43044166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En el ambito de las ciencias sociales, aun sigue resultando desconocida y controvertida desde el punto de vista metodologico. Las epistemologias feministas, sus principios y valores marcan las directrices metodologicas de este tipo de investigacion. Hay escasos trabajos que se centren en aportar pautas aplicadas y sinteticas de lo que implica una buena practica de investigacion desde este enfoque. Por ello, nos proponemos generar, desde la evidencia, una guia con pasos metodologicos que permitan planear y disenar la investigacion feminista. Tambien, perseguimos identificar en la literatura cientifica los principales desafios metodologicos a los que se enfrenta en la actualidad este tipo de investigacion. Asi, realizamos una revision de literatura reciente y referente en la materia, seleccionando tanto estudios empiricos y que recogen casos ilustrativos de investigaciones feministas como reflexiones metodologicas y revisiones publicadas en revistas de una diversidad de areas de ciencias sociales y que cuentan con revision por pares. El analisis de las contribuciones se realiza desde un enfoque tematico y de teoria fundamentada, siguiendo procesos de codificacion abierta y abductiva, donde se tienen en cuenta conceptos nucleares para las epistemologias feministas. Los procesos de analisis buscan la proyeccion aplicada de principios y valores de las epistemologias feministas en una estructura interpretativa que guie y oriente la investigacion. El aporte final supone disponer de una guia fundamentada y ejemplificada que permite articular futuros disenos de investigacion, alertando sobre aspectos metodologicos clave para tener en cuenta. Asi como tambien, se identifican cuatro desafios metodologicos principales que mantienen el debate abierto en la academia en torno a la investigacion feminista actual. En ultima instancia, el estudio invita a la reflexion sobre la tension entre el ideal de investigacion feminista, la practica actual de esta investigacion y las posibilidades metodologicas que implica su puesta en marcha. Feminist research generates other ways of doing science. In the field of social sciences, it is still unknown and controversial from a methodological point of view. Feminist epistemologies, their principles and values set the methodological guidelines for this type of research. There are few works that focus on providing applied and synthetic guidelines of what a good research practice implies from this approach. Therefore, we propose to generate, from the evidence, a guide with methodological steps that allow planning and designing feminist research. Also, we seek to identify in the scientific literature the main methodological challenges that this type of research currently faces.

Asimismo, se evidencian las dificultades y distorsiones de esta puesta en práctica, el incumplimiento persistente de los fines asignados a la evaluación. Ello plantea una paradoja: el sentido último de la evaluación es incrementar la eficacia y la utilidad de la acción gubernamental; sin embargo, comparece como una práctica inútil, sin uso efectivo. El presente artículo indaga en las razones de esta paradoja desde una doble perspectiva, constituida por la concepción foucaultiana del acoplamiento entre saberes y dispositivos de gobierno, y las reflexiones de Hannah Arendt sobre la relación entre verdad y política en las sociedades contemporáneas.The evaluation of public interventions is a technical discipline whose purpose is to inform government decision-making.

In this sense, the history of this discipline shows the confrontation between methodological paradigms in whose struggle different ways of implementing the results of evaluations are at stake. Likewise, the difficulties and distortions of this implementation are evidente: the persistent non-compliance of the purposes assigned to the evaluation. This raises a paradox: the ultimate meaning of evaluation is to increase the effectiveness and utility of government action; however, it appears as a useless practice, a practice without effective use.

En un contexto de expansión de los feminismos en el país y una creciente institucionalización de perspectivas que se reconocen en esa matriz, la retórica de las cifras se ha convertido en la lingua franca para la visibilización de las situaciones de violencia contra las mujeres. Las preguntas que nos formulamos son las siguientes: ¿Cómo se organiza hoy el saber sobre la violencia de género? ¿Cómo operan las cifras en la construcción de ese saber y en su difusión e impacto social?

In a context of expansion of feminisms across the country and a growing institutionalization of the gender perspective, the rhetoric of numbers has become the lingua franca for the visibility of situations of violence against women. The questions we ask ourselves are: How is the knowledge about gender violence organized today?

Our argument is, on the one hand, that the register displays an inductive positivist method that acts fictions of scientific objectivity based on the use of figures as indisputable evidence of \"facts\".
