Violentómetro Arhikata. Una experiencia de antropología del diseño en comunidades purépecha de Michoacán

Abstract

This article offers a critical reflection on the intersection of design and anthropology, based on a practical experience that explores the dilemmas, challenges and ethical processes of academic research with indigenous communities. Framed in the new political context of indigenous self-government and through dialogue with purépecha women in the state of Michoacán, this research aims to contribute to the development of co-design processes, with an intercultural and gender perspective. It presents the case of the Arhikata Violentometer, which arises from collaborative work, highlighting its potential to make visible and prevent violence against women, a problem that they themselves consider a priority.
