PEREZ, Moira y BISSUTTI, César. Researching imprisonment. Runa [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.1, pp.227-245. Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 1851-9628. http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v42i1.8510.
The decision to carry out research on forms of violence that affect historically marginalized groups involves a number of decisions linked to the conceptual framework, methodology, epistemological approach, among others. In these projects, any choice must consider both the researcher’s site of enunciation and the direct or indirect effects that these issues may have on the affected subjects. This article shares some epistemological and methodological reflections emerged from our research on the specific forms of violence affecting trans women deprived of their liberty in penitentiary facilities in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. From a reflexive, critical and constructive approach, we present a series of conclusions that can be drawn from the process, seeking to contribute with other scholars in the field in order to understand (some of) the potentially harmful dimensions of research practices in the social and legal sciences, while rehearsing some possible ways to avoid reproducing them.
