Flash ethnography and story-telling booths: interruption of educational sites for the approximations to discourses around sexual diversity

The so called sexual diversity has become a political and academic, novel issue in the last ten years in Mexico, particularly that which regards to LGBT identities, thanks to the organizational force of these identities, that inform being victims of constant homophobic violence. These forms of viole...

description The so called sexual diversity has become a political and academic, novel issue in the last ten years in Mexico, particularly that which regards to LGBT identities, thanks to the organizational force of these identities, that inform being victims of constant homophobic violence. These forms of violence occur frequently in schools, an issue that make a rigid regulatory framework on the body, sexuality and gender very evident, and where formal educational has a central role. In this paper, we report the experience of a group of researchers from different generations, cultures and countries on the use of an experimental and novel methodology that provokes interruptions—pauses—in schools. This method consisted of introducing a sound-proof booth (a wooden artefact of two meters, by one meter, by one meter) into schools, into which one could enter to “tell a story on sexual diversity”, be it individually or collectively, that would be registered by a videocamera or audiorecorder. The booth remained in each school for two weeks, during which we developed participant observation and interviews. We called this flash ethnography, due to its short duration and intention of interrupting the school’s everyday life. In this text we reflect on the implications of this method, as a pause for the sites in which we worked and for ourselves. A pause that allowed to re-establish the pedagogical, sexual and affective logics, norms and politics of each site, that provided opportunities to tell typical and dissident stories on what is conceived as sexuality and sexualdiversity in schools. Another relevant effect was the constitution of an us as an other to each site, something that constituted us as vulnerable, but privileged to carry out observation.

La llamada diversidad sexual se ha convertido en un asunto político y académico novedoso en la última década en México, en particular las identidades LGBT, gracias a la fuerza organizadora de estas identidades que denuncian una serie de violencias cometidas en su contra. Violencias que suceden con mucha frecuencia en los escenarios de educación formal. Esto evidencia un marco regulatorio sobre el cuerpo, la sexualidad y el género rígido, en donde la educación formal tiene un papel central. En este documento reportamos la experiencia de un grupo de investigadores de diferentes generaciones, culturas y países, en el uso de un método de investigación e intervención para escuelas, experimental y novedoso, que provoca interrupciones—pausas—en los escenarios educativos. El método consiste en introducir una cabina (construcción de madera de dos metros x un metro x un metro) aislada de sonido en un escenario educativo, a la cual se puede ingresar para “contar una historia sobre diversidad sexual”, ya sea individual o colectivamente, y que queda registrada por una videocámara o audiograbadora. La cabina permaneció en cada escenario durante dos semanas, durante las cuales también se realizó observación participante y entrevistas a miembros de la comunidad. A esto le llamamos etnografía flash por su corta duración y su intención de interrumpir la cotidianidad escolar. En este texto reflexionamos sobre las implicaciones de este método, como una pausa para los escenarios donde trabajamos y para nosotres mismes. Pausa que permitió reestablecer las lógicas, normas y políticas pedagógicas, sexuales y afectivas de cada espacio, para abrir oportunidades para contar historias típicas y disidentes sobre lo que en las escuelas se concibe como sexualidad y diversidad sexual. Un efecto de relevancia fue la constitución de un nosotres como otredad para la escuela, cuestión que nos construyó como vulnerables, pero privilegiades para la observación.     Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
