Abstract

ARAKISTAIN, Miren Guillo. Research in-corporation: menstruation policies and (re)productive bodies. Nómadas [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.233-245. ISSN 0121-7550.

Presented here are some reflections born during the elaboration of corresponding doctoral dissertation that analyzes how some young Basque women re-define menstruation in alternate ways to the hegemonic medical-scientific culture. The principal aspects regarded are the auto-ethnographic dimension of the study, the use of the corporeal routes technique, the fieldwork relationships and its influence on the methodological process. The process is catalogued as incorporated, since its priority is the study of the physical reflexive interaction between ethnographer and sources.

Keywords : menstruation; body; gender; corporeal routes; embodiment; auto-ethnography.
