Entramados político-afectivos: producciones narrativas desde una experiencia colectiva en Uruguay

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic intensified an already ongoing civilizational crisis. In this context, community networks were woven and reactivated to sustain life through diverse collective experiences. This communication is framed within this context. We share the reflections that emerged from the research with Huerter@s of Colinas de Solymar, which are the result of the knowledge co-production process developed within the framework of an action-research project based on feminist epistemologies. A qualitative methodology was used, developing a collective narrative production. The collective’s experience reveals alternative ways of doing politics through the production of the commons. Affective dimensions intertwine with an interdependent perspective of care for the human, the non-human, and the territory, for the sustainability of life. The encounter with Huerter@s broadened the sensitivity of the research team, transforming their own perspective and developing an embodied and involved approach.
