¿intervención o experiencia?

Abstract

This article discusses the idea of research as an intervention, which is why it points out the insufficiencies of the concept of intervention to analyze the construction processes of meaning and values and the level of affection that this processes have in social practices. For that reason, it proposes to consider the research as an experience where the researched subject as well as the researcher, when affected by the lived situation, transforms their own relief of the world. This idea combined with a research made by the author expose only two examples from the huge field of analysis that opens the notion of experience: the experience of narrating as a memory reconstruction and the reflexive experience as shaping of the ends.
