Negociando y navegando mi cuerpo gordo – encuentros feministas autoetnográficos
Resumen
En este artículo interactúo con la autoetnografía feminista como forma de aproximación al fenómeno cultural de ser una mujer “gorda”. La autoetnografía feminista es un enfoque profundo y comprometido, que logra poner de relieve la colonización de espacios y discursos. El proceso destaca la coexistencia y la exposición de “yoes” líquidos vulnerables – cuestionando nociones de un yo, que es una “identidad” cuidadosamente contenida y controlada. El proceso crítico de la autoetnografía feminista se entrelaza con bibliografía sobre investigación feminista, feminismos, autoetnografía, estudios críticos sobre la gordura e interseccionalidad. Un punto clave de esta investigación es el proceso reflexivo de investigar las experiencias de ser una “mujer gorda” y como yo (y mi discurso) “resisto[imos] a las normas sociales e institucionales que frecuentemente prescriben la investigación” y “promocionan voces de mujeres y experiencias únicas" (Averett, Soper, 2011, p. 371-372).Palabras clave
