Creation of a Methodological Instrument to Implement Narrative Practices in Academic Contexts

A narrative practice instrument, called a guide, was investigated and created in order to find new ways of creating knowledge in academia. It condenses different subjects, such as the body, identity, place and feminism. A narrative exercise was created with different instruments, such as body maps, music and photography. The exercise made possible the creation of sense and meaning of ideas and concepts around the subjects addressed, which emerged from the narration of the stories and life experiences. This investigation in anthropology was supported by research through Design, looking to find new channels into knowledge within academia. The result shows that the new narrative practices and the narrative exercise are channels into knowledge that lead us to understand it as an embodied experience.
