RAMIREZ SANCHEZ, Rubén Darío. The boundaries of research in Mexico: Experiences in dangerous zones. LiminaR [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, e911.  Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v20i2.911.

This paper presents various epistemological and methodological implications associated with research in dangerous regions in Mexico. Anthropological and sociological analysis methodologies were used to study violence as an object of knowledge, with new research routes and new ethnographic and information analysis strategies. These routes and strategies have been incorporated from research experiences in various dangerous territories in Mexico. This study concludes that dangerous contexts have led researchers to take new epistemological and methodological routes to address phenomena derived from criminal violence, conceptually understood within the framework of a new war between drug cartels and the state.

Keywords : research; violence; dangerous territories; fieldwork.
