SATTA., Paula. Investigar desde la corazonada. Una propuesta de investigación-emoción autoetnográfica en pandemia. Rev. urug. Antropología y Etnografía [online]. 2022, vol.7, n.1, pp.31-62.  Epub June 01, 2022. ISSN 2393-7068.  https://doi.org/10.29112/ruae.v7i1.1540.

In this article I describe the creative proposal of research-emotion, fruit of my Master in Women and Gender Studies thesis, entitled “Emociones pandémicas: sentir la pandemia en el cuerpo. Una autoetnografía feminista decolonial, afectiva y encarnada”, written and defended in 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic between the cities of Bologna, Italy, and Granada, Spain.

To carry out this purpose, first of all, I make an intimate and critical journey through my embodied experience of the pandemic, which led me to research from la corazonada (the hunch), inspired by the contributions of The Cancer Journals (1980) by the black feminist Audre Lorde. Lorde has been one of the unavoidable references when framing my research from a decolonial epistemological positioning, not separating emotions and their subjective character from the theoretical-political reflections of the social world.

Secondly, I briefly describe the contributions of feminist (auto)ethnography, both the contributions of the incarnate anthropology of Mari Luz Esteban (2004) and queer theories (Ahmed, 2019) to make feminist research in times of pandemic.

Finally, inspired by the hito (milestone) concept of Teresa del Valle (1995) I realize how the recording of my emotions from an autoethnographic analysis allowed me to create social research questions, that is, the embodied form that took my research-emotion methodology.

Keywords : feminist autoethnography; embodied antropology; decolonial epistemologies; pandemic Covid-19.
