Disobedience as a methodological framework

Main Article Content

Leyla Chávez Arteaga

In the following lines I share the reflections and feelings that guided the methodological process in the elaboration of my doctoral thesis ‘Affirmative action for indigenous representation also brought with it violence’. Political violence against indigenous women in Hidalgo, which I constructed between 2019 and 2022 in a province in central Mexico. My interest focused on women actors who had competed in elections through political parties, in order to understand the meanings they attribute to the obstacles they face when participating in politics, from their personal experiences and in relation to the community. The work resulted in a weaving of knowledge, intuitions, and deep reflections that my interlocutors gave me to shape the research.
