La armadura de una investigadora: un compromiso material crítico con las experiencias somáticas

Contenido principal del artículo

Janne Mascha Beuthel

Resumen

A través de su trabajo, los investigadores y profesionales del diseño se relacionan continuamente con seres humanos, lo que puede traducirse en encuentros con histo­rias personales, preguntas desafiantes y ex­pectativas. El investigador puede verse ante la disyuntiva de seguir siendo “profesional”, lo que a menudo se asocia a ser “neutral”, o comprometerse con sus propias emo­ciones, vulnerabilidades e inseguridades. Este artículo presenta un proceso de diseño somático informado por las experiencias autobiográficas de la autora. El resultado es un artefacto vestible llamado La armadura de una investigadora. El artefacto encarna las ex­periencias somáticas que se experimentan al “hacer investigación” y “ser investigador” durante los estudios cualitativos con parti­cipantes. Pretende provocar reflexiones y apunta a pensar acerca del profesionalismo. Los materiales físicos se ensamblan en una forma que se puede vestir, lo que permite a otros investigadores relacionarse con ellos a través de sus propios cuerpos. Por último, se describen los temas que la armadura ha evocado en otros; estos esbozan los conoci­mientos que el artefacto aporta al campo de la Interacción Humano-Computador.
