RT info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart T1 Payada, empathy and social commitment: a filming experience in an Argentinian prison A1 Isolabella, Matías AB The use of video as a research tool has been growing in the last decades. Many of the topicscurrently debated about its usage are common to diverse disciplines and represent the developmentof long time discussions: dualities like objective/subjective, fiction/non-fiction, art/science orreflections around the representation of reality, dialogic editing, ethics, etc., are constantly engaged.These debates involve epistemological issues that make it difficult to reach a wide consensus.Therefore, they are interpreted in different ways, depending on many variables: specific dialogicrelationships, field of studies, methodological and theoretical frames, personal sensibility, etc. Inthe following chapter I present some reflections about my research with payadores rioplatenses,specifically the audiovisual documentation of a performance that took place in Dolores’ penitentiary,in the Province of Buenos Aires. In doing so, I will address some of the main topics currentlydebated in the discipline, with particular focus on the relationship between the performers and thepublic, the ethical implications of filming in a prison and the audiovisual representation of humanexperience.
