Donner à voir : Une expérimentation pour symétriser les savoirs

Abstract

In the current context of renewal of alternative writing in the humanities and social sciences, few publications are given the attention they deserve in terms of dissemination of results to a non-academic community. Yet sharing research and translating it are essential for epistemic justice. This article describes the process of symmetrizing the results of doctoral research carried out in Nepal. Based on a collaboration between a researcher and an artist, this approach, which relies on theatre workshops, called for the creation of a visual work to be handed over to the village of Sirubari. In line with feminist and decolonial epistemologies, the article analyzes the issues in this gesture of methodological reciprocity through its writing intentions, the choice of aestheticizing knowledge and the effects of its reception. Between recognition and power relations, this article discusses the need for plural writing to make the academic world less opaque.
