“…In our study we have used the biographical-narrative methodological approach, which gives centrality to the narrated experience of the research participant, thus assigning it epistemological value. In this way, the narrative becomes a source of knowledge that is of great value for understanding the social fact (Arias Cardona and Alvarado Salgado 2015;Martínez-Guzmán and Montenegro 2014;May 2015). These narratives are developed through a methodology of dialogue, where the relational link established between researchers and participants constitutes the main source of knowledge (Arias Cardona and Alvarado Salgado 2015;Ferraroti 1981).…”

Mixedness and Intersectionality: The Use of Relief Maps to Understand the Experiences of Multiracial Women of African Descent in Spain

This article analyzes the experiences of multiracial women of African descent in Catalonia, Spain—looking at their identity processes, social relations, experiences of racialization and discrimination, and strategies of resistance—using a novel qualitative research method called “Relief Maps,” a very useful tool for the study of social inequalities from an intersectional and multilocational perspective. Relief Maps are a data collection tool and a means of visualizing and analyzing data—providing a graphical representation of interviewee narratives that discuss processes of social inclusion and exclusion. The maps represent three dimensions of experience: (1) psychological (indicating the respondent’s level of discomfort or well-being); (2) geographical (including at least five physical or experiential locations: e.g., home, street, work, school); and (3) social (examining seven social variables or aspects of identity: i.e., gender, ethnicity/skin color, age, sexual orientation, social class, physical appearance, and religion). In this way, the maps show where greater or lesser well-being or discomfort is experienced by the respondent based on each aspect of identity, thus indicating personal places of oppression, places of controversial intersections, neutral places, and places of relief. We argue that this supplementary investigative technique is highly relevant to research in the social sciences, particularly in the field of mixed-race, critical race, and ethnic studies, as it provides an intersectional, reflective, nuanced, and contextual lens for understanding complex social phenomena, leading to information of greater analytical strength.

“…These narratives not only center lived stories or construction of memories but also allow precisely to build from a critical point of view the lived or social facts (Duero & Limón Arce, 2007; Galaz & Rubilar, 2019). Creating spaces of narrative construction for subaltern subjects values their points of view and situates them with respect to a given historical time and social space, visualizing knowledge that is not usually recognized or situated as “truth” (Galaz & Álvarez, 2023; Martínez-Guzmán & Montenegro, 2014). In fact, any narrative approach allows an articulation between biography and historical and social dimensions, since “the issues and problems that people refer to in their stories come both from personal experience and from the society in which they live” (Martínez-Guzmán & Montenegro, 2014, p. 114).…”

“…For the author, an antioppressive practice will require considering the contexts of individuals and giving importance to these subjects, not considering them as passive entities but as agents of knowledge about their situation (see also : Bosworth et al, 2005). It is within these antioppressive practices that NP approaches within prison spaces have vigor (Martínez-Guzmán & Montenegro, 2014). Narrative approaches allow us to underscore the context in which such narrative is produced (Capella, 2013;Fivush et al, 2019), making possible "interconnections that are forged between past, present, and future" (C. K. Riessman, 2004, p. 708).…”

Subaltern narratives: An intersectional analysis of knowledge production by men deprived of their liberty in Chile.

Feminist epistemologies have intensified the search for methodological frameworks that resituate academic as well as social and popular critical knowledges. Feminist and social psychology perspectives have emphasized the political dimension of knowledge production and the importance of doing social science research from activist positions involved. By questioning the possibility of representing certain social groups, this article reflects on how we can construct popular subjects’ critical and artistic narratives, subjects that are generally only considered as “informants” in research. This article is based on artistic narrative experiences of popular-sector inmates that used short stories, collages, and poems in order to critically examine the inequalities in their own personal life histories. By incorporating freedom-deprived men’s own reflections in our work, we seek to critique traditional methodologies from a social justice perspective. In the materials generated, the inmates themselves are the ones who strongly criticized the idea of prison as “social destiny” for the Chilean poor, and they also introduced ideas about how their own ways of understanding masculinities have changed based on their experiences in prison. In our final reflections, we propose that it is necessary to explore more deeply social justice methodologies with popular-sector men, especially the incarcerated, in order to contribute to the centering of their voices in important sociopolitical discussions, in this manner imparting a socially recognized, dialogic status.

“…De manera que, desde la investigación cualitativa y el enfoque narrativo, podemos señalar que las creencias culturales del género tradicionales aún guían las experiencias eróticas (Martínez-Guzmán & Montenegro, 2014). Sin embargo, estas creencias no determinan la vida de las personas, puesto que son capaces de ejercer su potencial de agencia y transformar sus realidades (Gergen & Gergen, 2011) al mostrar -en algunos de los relatos-que lograron ir más allá del discurso de la victimización, así como del daño permanente e irreversible a través del cual suelen describirse las vivencias del abuso sexual y de sus posibles efectos (Woodiwiss, 2014).…”

El abuso sexual infantil puede dejar efectos en la experiencia erótica de las personas. Sin embargo, cuando dicha vivencia es narrada por los participantes, estos podrían significar de diversas maneras sus posibles consecuencias. Por lo tanto, llevamos a cabo una investigación cualitativa, bajo el marco teórico del construccionismo social, en la que participaron cuatro mujeres y dos hombres, quienes experimentaron abusos sexuales en la infancia. Realizamos entrevistas semi-estructuradas y temáticas. En el análisis de las narrativas, observamos la importancia de los constructos de género tradicionales en las primeras experiencias eróticas; adicionalmente, las vivencias de abusos sexuales permitieron dar sentido a las dificultades observadas en la edad adulta. Finalmente, destacamos que el valor otorgado al amor fue un elemento que permitió la re-significación positiva de la experiencia.
