De cangrejos, ratones y abejas: habilidad e involucramiento en las ciencias

Abstract

Durante mi investigación antropológica en un laboratorio de neurociencias en Buenos Aires participé de clases en las que se realizaron diversos experimentos con animales. Después de rechazar en varias ocasiones la invitación a manipular cangrejos y ratones aludiendo al asco y la aprensión que me suscitaban las criaturas, acepté lidiar con abejas. El análisis de la emotividad como herramienta heurística me permitió indagar en los procesos de formación de una habilidad científica y profundizar en los modos de producir conocimiento de los biólogos que realizan trabajo experimental y de los antropólogos en su trabajo de campo. En este trabajo muestro que tanto las ciencias naturales, cuyas prescripciones metodológicas les indican un trato distante con sus objetos de estudio, como la antropología social, que sostiene para sí, en cambio, el involucramiento en las tramas sociales que estudia, definen las relaciones con los objetos de estudio en las experiencias concretas de investigación. En el contacto y trato cotidiano con éstos, emociones y cuerpos pusieron de manifiesto tensiones entre la distancia y la cercanía existentes entre investigadores e investigados.

During my anthropological research in a neuroscience lab in Buenos Aires, I have participated in classes where experiments with animals were carried out. After rejecting several times the manipulation of crabs and mice because I was disgusted and afraid, I have accepted handling bees. The analysis of emotions as a heuristic tool enabled me to explore the processes by which a scientific skill is developed, and go into detail on the ways in which biologists in experimental work and social anthropologists in fieldwork produce knowledge. In this work, I show that natural science, whose methodological rules indicate a detached relationship with the object of study, as well as social anthropology that claims for itself, instead, the engagement with the social patterns that it studies, define their relationship with the objects of study in the concrete research experiences. In the contact and daily treatment with the objects of study, emotions and bodies brought to light tensions between the distance and proximity between researchers and the subjects of study. Key words: Laboratory animals, Emotions, Skills, Engagement.
