Abstract

This paper outlines the role of different participants involved in the repertoire of resistance practices against violence against women in Valparaíso. Drawing on social practice theory, debates on collective action, as well as the critical theory of Donna Haraway, it analyses empirical evidence from 30 interviews and two focus groups with women from the region, depicting their actions and poietic mechanisms. The paper reflects on our role as researchers, and our contribution to cultivating collaborations between the various participants involved. It concludes that situated knowledge enables the creation of a repertoire of sympoietic resistance practices, and that the state must gather and make use of this knowledge. The paper proposes that we view critical research as a method to recognise repertoires of resistance and support social change.
