Etnografía feminista como alternativa para estudiar el papel de las mujeres ante la crisis socioecológica

Abstract

Abstract: Among the various qualitative research strategies, ethnography appears as a set of techniques that allow social researchers a closer look at reality. Hence, ethnography is the systematic and detailed description of contemporary cultures. Although it is used in various social sciences, its origin and development have been directly linked to anthropological work. In this regard, the general objective of this work sought to broaden the theoretical discussion regarding feminist ethnography and its contributions to the study of activism, mobilization, and the consequences that ecological devastation has generated in women's spaces of action. Meanwhile, the questions that guided the discussion were: Is a feminist ethnography possible? What theoretical and methodological contributions can feminist ethnography, as a research strategy, offer to the study of women's role in the face of the socio-ecological crisis? Concluding that anthropology and other social sciences have, in this theoretical position, an essential research tool for revealing the power structures and gender asymmetries that continue to perpetuate the oppression of women, who are the most affected by the ecological crisis.

Key words: crisis, pollution, qualitative, ecology, gender.
