ANS Adv Nurs Sci. 2024 Jan-Mar;47(1):29-42. doi: 10.1097/ANS.0000000000000479. Epub 2023 Jan 18.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to share theoretical and methodological reflections on a project on feminist epistemologies and health activism. Based on the analysis of 12 life stories and 1 group interview, an approach based on ethnographic fiction is proposed through the creation of a serial story in podcast format. This approach helps in generating emotions to facilitate understanding and awareness of the issues raised and in showing everyday practices as ways of constructing knowledge. It also avoids turning life stories into academic artifacts with little transformational capacity.
