Description:The article reflects on the experiences of a researcher of Tsotsil origin trained in the fields of linguistics and anthropological linguistics, who lives in the same territorial space of the study community. Specifically, it examines the implications and challenges of being a woman, a Tsotsil and a researcher, who, on the one hand, delves into the social and community spaces that are exclusive to men, and on the other, enters a field in which external researchers have been privileged. The author starts from an epistemology that proposes the study of “we” in contrast to the research established in the study of “others”. It provides a series of methodologies for research “from within” that start from the need for knowledge of cultural resources, dialogue from the same linguistic code, the ecology of formulating questions, the practices of reciprocity, the preponderance of collective interests, empathy, as well as the awareness of living in community scrutiny. Finally, it proposes an approach to the study communities that is fundamentally humane, and not simply methodologically correct.
