El investigador, el trabajo de campo y los datos a prueba de la comparación

Abstract

Aunque la comparación es una actividad cotidiana para cada quién, armar un protocolo de comparación no es nada fácil en ciencias sociales. Algunas pistas importantes sobre la metodología de construcción, pero también sobre las prácticas de comparación y sus implicaciones son objetos del análisis de la presente contribución. Las reflexiones se fundamentan en nuestra experiencia de geógrafo francés en proceso de aprendizaje a la investigación sobre el riesgo urbano en América latina desde 2003, y sobre nuestras movilidades tan físicas como intelectuales entre los continentes y las literaturas científicas de Europa y de las Américas. Este marco original, que no elude ni el ambiente del investigador ni las condiciones de producción de saberes, permite introducir el estudio de diferentes temas relativos a la comparación concebida alternativamente como una herramienta de investigación, un instrumento de poder, y una oportunidad de emancipación. Al considerar retrospectivamente nuestros primeros años de investigación, la comparación resulta ser mucho más que una herramienta cualquiera. Es una construcción social, contingente, y tiene implicaciones tanto para la realidad estudiada o para la actividad de investigación como para el propio investigador. No solo planteamientos metodológicos, sino también epistemológicos y políticos son parte de e influencian el proceso de comparación.

Although the comparison is a daily activity for most of the people, it is pretty much difficult to set out a protocol of comparison in social sciences. The core topics of the contribution relate with methodology of construction, and with practices of comparison and its implications. These thoughts are based on my own experience as a training French geographer on urban risks in Latin America since 2003, as well as on my physical and intellectual displacements between Europe and the Americas. Such original starting point takes the researcher's environment as well as the conditions that frame the production of knowledge into account. It allows introducing the analysis of different issues related with the comparison alternatively understood as an element in the researcher's toolbox, as an instrument of power, and as an opportunity of emancipation. Looking back to my training years as a researcher, the comparison appears to be much more than an ordinary "tool". It is a social and contingent construction, and has implications for the reality at stake, for the research process as well as for the researcher. Not only methodological but also epistemological and political concerns are part of the process of comparison and contribute to shape it.
