- ItemCirculo Domoche: making memory and doing methodology as we go(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022) Lira, Andrea; Luisa Munoz-Garcia, Ana; Loncon, ElisaIn this article, we reflect on a research method we called Circulo Domoche, part of a larger research project on the histories of schooling of Mapuche women in Chile in a context of continual violence against Indigenous people. It originates in the personal experience of the researchers with Chilean schooling and our academic work on education. We share our process of methodological exploration for studying the stories of schooling of Mapuche women from multiple generations. The three authors, along with four others, met periodically and wrote each other letters to talk about our memories of schooling to explore ways of doing research that does not reproduce epistemicide and exploitation of Indigenous people through research. Building on theoretical perspectives from Indigenous scholars and scholars of colour we developed a way of making memory while doing research together. We propose thinking of methodology as not structured beforehand but one that grows along with and as the research unfolds. We share here this community construction as resistance to necropolitics as well as what we have learned by creating spaces of refusal within an academy that functions in a different logic of neoliberal regulation of the construction of knowledge.

- ItemKnowledges from the south: Reflections on writing academically(2022) Muñoz García, Ana Luisa; Lira, Andrea; Loncón, Elisa; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile; Universidad de Magallanes; Universidad de Santiago de ChileIn this paper we dialogue on the process of knowledge construction working through and disrupting academic regulations. We build on the reflections born of our own research doing indigenous research of biographies of schooling of Mapuche women, as feminist, indigenous and non-indigenous scholars latinx scholars. We focus on three tensions working on knowledge in and beyond academic spaces. First, the ways in which the knowledges (in plural) that comes from our own biographies usually is left out of academic conversations and moved into what we call invisible zones. Second, the work of translation and translanguaging as we move across language barriers and geographic places in our work, and what these processes afford across geographic and conceptual zones of “north” and “south.” Thirdly, the naturalized understanding of knowledge as a product in academic spaces and the ways in which we can reimagine and display complex and complicated ways of doing the research work otherwise.
