Abstract

Research methodologies that produce social-scientific knowledge based on gathering empirical evidence have recently expanded thanks to technological advances and interdisciplinarity. Thus it is pertinent to reflect on how such disciplinary intersections nourish and add complexity to socio-cultural research’s role. The article proposes a deep exploration of the events, analyses and lessons-learned that emerged from creating the participative social documentary <em>Hombres de esperanza </em>(<em>Men of Hope</em>, 2017) and its various presentations to the general public, academics and visual arts experts. Dialogue is sought between the artistic and social-sciences discourses, based on common points that converge in the creation of an ethnographic documentary in Tijuana that took an evangelical rehab center as its subject.
