Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es socializar una serie de reflexiones epistémicas acerca del estudio de los movimientos populares, particularmente en su abordaje desde el enfoque de la construcción de subjetividades. Estas reflexiones tienen su origen en un trabajo de investigación doctoral llevado adelante en vinculación con movimientos populares del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde una perspectiva inscripta en las epistemo-logías críticas, se considera clave retomar la categoría de colocación, estruc-turante del pensamiento epistémico de Hugo Zemelman, en la búsqueda por tematizar el posicionamiento subjetivo de los/as investigadores en su presente histórico tanto como las mediaciones que operan en la relación de éstos/as con la realidad. Con base en una reelaboración de la categoría zemelmaniana, planteamos dos dimensiones de la colocación: el colocarse-entre y el colocar-se-con. La primera dimensión da cuenta del carácter dinámico y complejo de la realidad social y sus influencias en la aproximación al objeto, las elecciones categoriales y las decisiones metodológicas tomadas por los/as investigadores. La segunda recupera la condición intersubjetiva que atraviesa el quehacer investigativo y sus implicancias en la subjetividad de los/as investigadores donde se entraman política, ética y epistemología. Las conclusiones advierten acerca de la centralidad de realizar ejercicios reflexivos sobre la práctica investigativa, partiendo de experiencias concretas, como aporte al necesario debate en torno a los procesos de construcción de conocimiento en el campo de las Ciencias Sociales.
This article is aimed at socializing a series of epistemic reflections on the study of popular movements, particularly from an approach centered in the construction of subjectivities. These reflections derive from a doctoral research work carried out in collaboration with popular movements of Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, Argentina. From a critical epistemology perspective, the category of placement, which structures the epistemic thought of Hugo Zemelman, is considered essential in terms of thematising the subjective posi-tioning of the researchers within their historical present as well as the media-tions in their relations with reality. Based on a rework of Zelmelman’s category, we introduce two dimensions of the placement: “place oneself in between” and “place oneself with (others)”. The first dimension gives an account of the dy-namic and complex nature of social reality that has influence on the object approach, the theoretical options and the methodological decisions made by researchers. The second dimension considers the intersubjective nature of the research task and its implications in the researchers’ subjectivity, in which po-litics, ethics and epistemology are interweaved. The conclusions remark the importance of reflective exercises about research practice, from concrete expe-riences, as a contribution to the necessary debate on the processes of knowled-ge construction in Social Sciences.
