Todavía no nos ven. Formas de la participación de niñas en la producción y reproducción de la vida
A partir de un estudio etnográfico realizado en casas tomadas de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires durante las medidas de aislamiento en 2020, analizaremos los modos de participación que las niñas que allí vivían tuvieron en las tareas de cuidado, en el mercado laboral y en la acción política de una organización barrial. En un diálogo entre teorías feministas y antropologías de las edades, la categoría de participación se ensancha y la investigación de c…
Una nueva estética para luchar contra la desnutrición
En la provincia de Salta (Argentina), la desnutrición infantil constituye un problema de salud pública que afecta especialmente a las poblaciones infantiles de comunidades indígenas. Desde el gobierno provincial, el programa de Atención Primaria de la Salud implementa acciones socio-sanitarias hacia la población infantil desde los años 1980, mientras que más recientemente diversas Organizaciones no Gubernamentales (ONGs) adquirieron un fuerte imp…
An Excerpt from The Location Shoot
Crecer en el espacio tomado
La concentración de tierras en pocas manos genera que gran parte de la población viva en espacios tomados, tanto en el campo como en la ciudad. A partir de dos investigaciones etnográficas desarrolladas en Argentina, una en Ciudad de Buenos Aires y otra en el departamento de Orán (provincia de Salta), el objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar los modos en los que la ocupación ilegal de la vivienda configura diversos aspectos de las vidas de lx…

Tensiones en torno a la (des)nutrición en poblaciones indígenas y criollas en Salta, Argentina, desde una perspectiva antropológica
This article analyzes the ways in which malnutrition is related to land access, labor conditions, ethnic and gender relations, and the social and cultural organization of child care in rural and peri-urban contexts in Orán, Salta, Argentina. Research was conducted from an ethnographic approach in which qualitative and quantitative techniques were used with ava-guaraní, kolla, wichí and white populations who were patients of Salta's Primary Health…
Child care and participation in the Global South
Children and teenagers are often considered as objects of care or as subjects who have the right to be cared for. However, in squatter houses in Buenos Aires, they often take on responsibilities that challenge the ways we understand childcare and participation. This article sets out to analyse the experiences of girls and young women. To do so, we carried out ethnographic work with girls aged 8–19 years within two occupied buildings in a Buenos A…
El abandono de la razón

Para discutir dichas representaciones, se historizan y describen los contextos de producción de los conceptos de familia e infancia, recuperando autores clásicos del campo de las ciencias sociales y humanidades, tanto de orig…

Arts-based research (ABR) is a rapidly growing methodological genre. Arts-based research adapts the tenets of the creative arts in social research to make that research publicly accessible, evocative, and engaged. This chapter provides a retrospective and prospective overview of the field, including a review of some of the pioneers of arts-based research, methodological principles, and robust examples of arts-based research in different artistic …
Dedication
A Changing Terrain
This chapter offers some final comments from Patricia Leavy, editor of The Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research, second edition, about the future of qualitative research. The chapter suggests there is a widespread move from a disciplinary to a transdisciplinary research structure in which problems of import are at the center of research practices. Within this context, qualitative researchers are well positioned to advance because of their abil…

Fiction, Feminism, and Qualitative Research
In this interview, sociologist Patricia Leavy introduces arts-based research, discusses how qualitative researchers can use fiction, and reviews her own practice of writing feminist novels including her latest release, Film
Contemporary Feminist Research from Theory to Practice
Privilege Through the Looking-Glass
Shades of Blue
In this essay, Leavy discusses the 2016 release of her novel Blue. When Blue was released, Leavy publicly stated it was her favorite and most personal book, which precipitated a flood of e-mails from both friends and strangers asking whether she was a particular character in the book. Leavy challenges the idea that something must be autobiographical to be personal and explains what is actually personal about the book by sharing the childhood expe…
A Spectrum of Writings from the Heart
The mass marketing of disordered eating and Eating Disorders
A/r/t
The following poetic installation reflects on the artistic-scientistic divide that permeates how research practice is carried out and assessed even within the qualitative paradigm. Some poems question the art-science dichotomy and how it shapes truth-telling practices in both research and teaching. Other poems challenge the mind-body dichotomy. The poetic and prose-based installation is grounded in the researcher's experience attempting to merge …
Fiction and the Feminist Academic Novel
This article reviews the use of fiction as a qualitative research method. The article focuses on the feminist academic novel as a means of representing qualitative research, raising feminist consciousness, accessing hard-to-get-at dimensions of social life, opening up a multiplicity of meanings, tapping into empathy and resonance as ways of knowing and reaching diverse audiences with feminist social research knowledge. The article centers on the …
Racial Identity and the Development of Body Image Issues among African American Adolescent Girls
As readers, children with dyslexia are vulnerable to becoming academically, socially, and emotionally detached from education. Traditional educational practices tend to use quantitative measures to diagnose children to better serve their needs and researchers, who study students with special needs often focus on a deficit model that quantify just how far a child is from the norm. This practice, while full of good intentions, often creates emotion…
Femininity, Masculinity, and Body Image Issues among College-Age Women
In this article we investigate college-age womens body image issues in the context of dominant femininity and its polarization of the mind and body. We use original data collected through seven in-depth interviews and 32 qualitative written interviews with college-age women and men. We coded the data thematically applying feminist approaches to the analysis. We conclude that the current standard of femininity disproportionately associates womens …

American Reporting of School Violence and `People Like Us
The 1999 shootings at Columbine High School received saturation coverage by the American media. How did newspaper reporting of the 2005 Red Lake Indian Reservation School shootings, the largest school killing since Columbine, compare with the press's representations of Columbine? In this article we perform a qualitative content analysis of three newspapers ( The New York Times as the national paper of record, and local papers in the communities i…
Fractured Femininities/Massacred Masculinities
The following series of poems, titled "Fractured Femininities/Massacred Masculinities" consists of six "tri-voiced poems" presented as an installation. The author uses the term tri-voiced poems to denote poems crafted from original data, existing literature, and autoethnographic researcher observations. With respect to original data, the poems are based, in part, on data collected during two interview studies. One study involves in-depth intervie…
The Memory-History-Popular Culture Nexus
In this paper I examine the fusing of collective memory, history and popular culture by analyzing current trends in American-made commercial films with historical events as subject matter that have also been distributed to a global audience. Pearl Harbor is the primary case study. Analysis shows that dominant historical narratives are reified by the use of what I term an 'anticipatory-driven' film experience where audience members engage in an in…

A Review of Rufus Stone
In this essay I review the research-informed short film Rufus Stone. Rufus Stone is the result of a 3-year funded research project led by Kip Jones. The film tells the story of a young man in rural England who, while developing an attraction to another young man, is viciously outed by small-minded village people. He flees to London and returns home 50 years later and is forced confront the people from his past and larger issues of identity and ti…
