Abstract
La presente investigación supone un esfuerzo por entender y ordenar la pluralidad de maneras de hacer investigación social desde un enfoque empírico de trastienda, alejado de maneras tradicionales de hacerlo como su división a partir de: dos metodologías, la cuantitativa y la cualitativa; o de varias clasificaciones de paradigmas de investigación social. Estas propuestas tradicionales sobre la pluralidad de la investigación social presentan varios problemas, de entre los que cabe destacar su falta de empirismo, su idealización de los procesos investigadores, su excesivo logicismo y su anclaje en dicotomías que han provocado enfrentamientos. En suma, estos problemas dificultan el entendimiento y la aceptación mutua entre investigadores e investigadoras sociales (Feyerabend, 1993; Harding, 2015; Valles, 1997; Verd y López, 2008; Wylie, 2003).Para satisfacer el objetivo general se ha adoptado un enfoque de trastienda a partir de la teoría dramatúrgica de Goffman (2012, 1ª ed. de 1956). El enfoque de trastienda ha sido aplicado con anterioridad a la investigación social en, fundamentalmente, dos parcelas. La primera, iniciada por Valles (2009), que se centra en la trastienda histórico-biográfica de las investigaciones; y la segunda, la trastienda de las investigaciones sociales, impulsada por Wainerman y Sautu (2001). Este enfoque ha definido el diseño y desarrollo metodológico, que ha consistido en 38 entrevistas cualitativas y de una encuesta online a una muestra no representativa que cuenta con un tamaño muestral de 478 casos. Ambas técnicas se administraron a personal investigador de distintas disciplinas de ciencias sociales, en distintos estadios de su carrera investigadora y de distintos países...
This research involves an effort to assess and understand the plurality of ways of doing social research from an empirical backstage approach, away from traditional ways of doing so as its division based on two methodologies, quantitative and qualitative; or on paradigms of social research that are shown in several classifications. These traditional approaches to the plurality of social research show several problems, among which it is worth highlighting their lack of empiricism, their idealization of research processes, their excessive logicism and their anchoring in dichotomies that have caused confrontations and hinder understanding and mutual acceptance between social researchers (Feyerabend, 1993; Harding, 2015; Valles, 1997; Verd and López, 2008; Wylie, 2003).To meet this general objective, a backstage approach has been adopted using Goffman's dramaturgical theory (2012, 1st ed. of 1956). This backstage approach has previously been applied to social research in, fundamentally, two levels. The first, initiated by Valles (2009), which focuses on the historical-biographical backstage; and the second, the backstage of social research, promoted by Wainerman and Sautu (2001). This approach has influenced the methodology, which has consisted of 38 qualitative interviews and an online survey from a non-representative sample with 478 cases. Both techniques were administered to social researchers from different disciplines, at different stages of their career and from different countries...
