Abstract

The project unfolds from the desire to produce social sciences that are attentive to mutual dialogues, committed to "telling other stories", involved with their public vocality, and inventing creative, critical and experimental formats and methodologies. The aim is to explore multimodality as a research methodology, and the different possibilities of producing affections and interventions using creative and innovative languages in science. Podcast dissemination is part of what is proposed as "experimental methodology". Telling other stories, telling research stories, has not only been a way of broadening and consolidating scientific dissemination in Anthropology and in the interdisciplinary area of Science, Technology and Society, but also of producing fissures and alliances in a field that is eminently dominated by male researchers. This project aims to unfold research questions in universities and with female researchers in Chile and Peru. Over the course of nine months, I propose to meet different researchers in these two countries, with the aim of mapping work at the interfaces of feminist anthropology of science and technology, offering workshops, interviewing researchers, producing episodes, building and strengthening an international research network. The interviews are also objects of research and questioning based on the research questions, which involve the researchers' experiences and strategies for producing (geo)politically situated, socially referenced knowledge, with decolonial and anti-racist Latin American feminist perspectives, in which the scenario of climate change and the Anthropocene are articulated with feminist practices of care and attention.
