| description | Through an effort to approach the epistemic program of social anthropology and that of Participatory Action Research (PAR), we observe the similarities and differences that both establish concerning the category of participation. An ethnographic estrangement exercise is carried out on two PAR experiences with indigenous communities of Jujuy (NW Argentina) in which the author has participated, thus highlighting two different mediation roles that occur in PAR. It is proposed that one of these roles, namely 'stimulation agent', may serve to the social researcher as a legitimate opening key to a given social field, by integrating him/her in instances that we name here as ‘epi’ and ‘meta’ workshop. Consequently, we propose an alternative way of considering the PAR epistemic contract, by recovering the concept of participation from ethnography, thus allowing an epistemological reciprocity bond between researcher and subaltern social subjects, by means of which two products, and not just one, may be obtained from the PAR experience: one of them being the scientific product – the paper –, which serves to the researcher; and the other one being a collective emancipation experience, which serves subaltern social subjects to ease certain aspects of their everyday livelihoods. |

A partir de un esfuerzo por aproximar el programa epistemológico de la antropología social y el de la IAP, se observan las semejanzas y las diferencias que ambas establecen en torno a la categoría de participación. A continuación se realiza un ejercicio de extrañamiento etnográfico sobre dos experiencias de IAP realizadas con comunidades indígenas de Jujuy en las que el autor ha participado, lo que permite poner en evidencia dos roles diferentes de mediación social que resultan necesarios para procesos de IAP. Se propone que uno de esos roles, el de agente de estimulación, facilita accesos al campo social que permiten la integración del/la investigador/a en instancias denominadas epitallerísticas y metatallerísticas. Se propone una manera alternativa de abordar el contrato epistemológico de la IAP que recupera el concepto de participación de la tradición etnográfica, permitiendo así un vínculo de reciprocidad epistemológica como alternativa a la coautoría en tanto producto de la IAP, por el cual se obtienen dos productos y no uno solo: siendo el producto innovador para los sectores subalternos, el enfrentamiento colectivo de las incompletitudes de su vida social. 2020-06-12 2022-03-16T18:06:01Z 2022-03-16T18:06:01Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares texto https://www.relmecs.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/Relmecse065 10.24215/18537863e065 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/27577 spa https://www.relmecs.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/Relmecse065/12634 https://www.relmecs.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/Relmecse065/12635 https://www.relmecs.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/Relmecse065/12663 Derechos de autor 2020 Jorge Luis Cladera text/html application/pdf application/epub+zip Universidad Nacional de La Plata.
