Metodologías con objetos-objeciones metodológicas

Abstract

This paper attempts to contribute to the feminist discussion on the politics of matter, giving account of methodological proposals to research with objects and of how they interfere in our research. In this methodological meta-reflection we put to dialogue two studies about the role of objects in social life, by following two entries: (1) the review of how the use of interviews and photographs facilitate objects to operate and express through their owners in order to be cared for, seen and heard, by those of us investigating, and (2) the interferences of objects with research, resisting participation or modifying the conditions and terms in which they are questioned from the methodological device. This methodological analysis allows us: to highlight the material continuity that co-constitutes and mutually affects humans and objects in the framework of research, and to question a supposedly distant and utilitarian position (methodological and epistemic-political) towards some "others", in the form of objects, in social research.
