Resumen
MARRONI, María da Gloria. “Giving a voice to the Other”? Biographical methods and narratives of migrants: an exemplary debate in the Social Sciences. Tla-melaua [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.41, pp.202-221. ISSN 2594-0716.
This article reflects on the relationship between biographical methods in the social sciences and migratory studies based on a central question: can we “give voice to the Other”? This is the nucleus for the construction of biographical methods to study migration, where the “Other” is the migrant, whose perspective aspires to be unveiled by the social sciences. They explore the answers they have given to the question from pioneering studies to the proposals of the 21st century. Beyond incorporating technical instruments and new findings of the social sciences, the problem lies in how researcher-subject relation is conceived: far from evaluative neutrality, the researcher is committed to this relationship and all its implications.
