Seminar of Young Researchers

.

You must escape to the alternative of the outside and the inside; it must be in the borders. […] It is, in sum, to transform the critique exerted in the form of the limitation is necessary, in a practical critique that takes the form of a transgression is possible.

Michel Foucault

This 2013 the Seminar Experiences Research will focus on investigations developed on the periphery of the academic or beyond its borders. It is part of the learning accumulated in the editions of 2010, 2011 and 2012.

This year, immersed in a deep social crisis derived from the policy response to the bursting financial, the organizers consider that it is necessary to focus the gaze in other places, non-hegemonic development of social science research. This formulation seems to make sense in a time of direct attack on the public university on the part of regional governments and state. These attacks, accompanied by a management interested, irresponsible, and subject to diminished internal dynamics, cancelled summarily the character of “public ” of all and for all” of academic research.

For all this, we look to those experiences that entail “other ways” to do, questioning your own existence, the research model has been dominant and logical neo-liberal that is trying to impose on the university level. These other forms do contain a critical transverse to said model, and proposing other logics possible in a complicated balance between a strong desire for research and a context of increasing precariousness. Since the forms of funding, to the models of authorship and recognition, setting their own interests and research goals, adapting methodologies and practices, and inventing ways of production and dissemination of knowledge. Therefore, this seminar will focus, once more, in the process rather than the results of the research activity, encouraging the people invited to from their own experiences to deal with these issues.

Over seven sessions, we will work on topics related to feminist economics, participatory methodologies, architecture, militant research, or the production and distribution of knowledge, with the participation of Amaia Orozco, Concha Lorenzana (ANTIGONE Participatory Processes), a review Committee of Sun 15M, Brigades of Observation of Human Rights, Rana Hassan, Journal Crossroads, Editorial Traficantes de Sueños.
