Chile has sailed in troubled waters in recent months. The effects of the social crisis at the end of 2019 were not yet fully evident, when the Covid-19 pandemic forced the government to take drastic measures to try to slow down the advance of the virus. The restrictions imposed on displacement, dynamic quarantines and the suspension of non-essential activities had a strong impact on the employment and economic conditions of the inhabitants of Chile, and more dramatically on the migrant population. This article aims to make visible the vulnerability and precariousness of the migrant population in Chile in this context of a pandemic, as well as the need to generate situated and inclusive social policies.

The article explores qualitative geography and qualitative social science as sites of mixed methods research practice. The authors argue that there is an emergent convergence of methodologies and analytical purposes between qualitative geography and qualitative social science. The authors show how methodological and analytical convergence has been enabled by technological convergence between geographical information systems (GIS) and qualitative software (CAQDAS). The argument is illustrated by examples of convergent georeferenced mixed methods studies, including a main example from research on reproductive health in Paraguay.

ARTIGOesde la década de los 80 s se han ampliado las expectativas de los investigadores en torno al uso de las herramientas del Análisis Cualitativo Asistido por Computadora (CAQDAS, por sus siglas en inglés: Computing Assisted Qualitive Data Analysis Software). La difusión de programas específicos y de resultados de investigación apoyados con ellos han sido, entre otros, elementos primordiales del ascenso de lo que algunos llaman aplicación de nuevas tecnologías o aplicación de la informática en el análisis de datos . En esa dirección es que hoy por hoy se distingue en el terreno de la investigación cualitativa, como si fuese una ruta necesaria hacia algún lugar, el que: por un extremo, se encuentren investigadores que prefieren las técnicas artesanales de trabajo (pre-computadora: lápices de colores, tijeras, fichas, etc.), a la mitad del camino, aquellos que privilegian el uso de programas de cómputo no diseñados para ese fin (procesadores de palabras, hojas de cálculo, base de datos, etc.) y, en el otro extremo, aquellos otros investigadores que utilizan los programas de cómputo específicamente desarrollados para el análisis cualitativo.

It is important to define the ethnographical practices as a way of thinking and doing critical qualitative inquiry. Creative subversion currently arises as a breaking of rules, institutional change, social or political protest, popular or civic rebellion, fighting the law or simply radical transformation of situations. Today it is everywhere even though there is too much silence around it, which could be catastrophic for qualitative research. Reflexive methods could be enriched if researchers looking for social transformation and collaborating in civil resistance integrate in their ethnographical practices the creative subversion as shared knowledge object. It is pertinent to interpret the social action involved in such transformative processes as a poetics of rage collective or individually performed. Doing a review of how creative subversion has been dealt in the contemporary social science, this article is an effort to provide a nuance and rigorous definition.

Editorial IntroductionThe project of a special issue on qualitative psychology resulted from our (the four guest editors') desire to find a common space in which to voice our interests in qualitative research in psychology. We shared a place (the yearly annual International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry at the University of Illinois) that encouraged us to freely explore our interests in critical, post-structural, and narrative/discursive approaches to research. We also shared a view of qualitative psychology as extending beyond methodologies to embrace innovative considerations on possible epistemologies and ontologies for the field of psychology.At the 2010 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, the four of us convened a panel on qualitative psychology, which became the basis for a subsequent pre-conference on this area. This special issue collects a selection of presentations from the first pre-conference day on qualitative psychology, which took place in May 2011 at the University of Illinois, in Urbana-Champaign, IL. Jane Speedy and Mark Freeman were our keynote speakers.In the following pages, we will explore some of the common interests, voices, and positions that, in our view, tend to be shared among qualitative researchers and the authors who appear in this special issue. We hope that our considerations will not set new canons or standards for qualitative psychology. Rather, with this special issue, we wish to offer voices and perspectives that will stimulate new dialogues and create new fundamental ambiguities, differences, and deferments to other meanings and discourses (Derrida, 1978) in the exciting and emerging field of qualitative psychology. ComplexityAs qualitative psychologists, we share an appreciation for complex knowledge. It is not that we enjoy making things complicated or difficult for the sake of simply doing it, but we recognize that knowledge, constructions, and representations of human experiences are multifaceted, uniquely situated, and seldom (if ever) understandable through major theoretical frames of interpretation that operate across the board. Following the call of feminist researchers (Harding, 1987) to embrace epistemological complexity as a way to respect the multitude of perspectives and power relations that make up knowledge and inform realities, we are committed to forms of knowledge that avoid unnecessary reductions and that celebrate the complexities of experience.We address and deal with concerns and issues that, by their very natures and effects, cannot be read unequivocally. Let's think, for instance, about the importance of interpreting psychopathology from a variety of angles, all of which inform our understandings of and approaches to it.
