“…The reflexive accounting presented in this paper provides an account of how these roles influenced VN's self-view of the world, as well as how she was perceived by others involved in the AR process (Coghlan & Brannick, 2009). It required VN to reflexively and actively try to maintain credibility in the eyes of the colleagues, both to achieve the planned change in itself and to be able to continue the research study (Nugus, Greenfield, Travaglia, & Braithwaite, 2012). It may be thought easier to do IAR as a peer, posing less of a threat to disturb the hierarchical order or ''upset the equilibrium'' as Moore (2007) experienced doing insider research in his manager position.…”

An IARr needs to be both close to the setting, and also to be able to create distance from it to be able to see things critically and thus enable change to happen (Coghlan & Brannick, 2009).…”

La colaboración como condición: la etnografía participativa como oportunidad para la acción

“…Existen además algunas experiencias donde se han llevado a cabo estudios etnográficos de carácter colaborativo conectados de alguna manera con procesos de IAP, ya sea como etapa previa o posterior al desarrollo de los mismos. Encontramos ejemplos relacionados con procesos de patrimonialización (Hollowell y Nicholas 2009;Pyburn 2009), en producciones artísticas (Friedman 2013), o en los campos de la edu- cación (Villenas 2007;Van Sluys 2010;Fuentes 2013;García, A. et al 2015) y de la salud (Goepp et al 2008;Nugus et al 2012;Varcoe et al 2013;Gorli et al 2015;Oye et al 2015).…”
