Sumario:This paper´s key proposition is to outline strategies to register bodily knowledge and experience based on autoethnographic research in order to explore new ways of knowledge construction. Introspection, documentary data, and shared bodily experience are key elements for autoethnographic research emphasizing that knowledge is produced from lived bodies. This also contributes to recognize sensitive experiences in a certain context, and revealing non-hegemonic ethnographic findings. I argue that autoethnographic research is also movement and bodily articulation, involving creative processes to reveal research results, in this way, emphasizing the body as an interface between the social environment, society, and scholarly work.
