Digital audiovisual technologies as facilitators to document together the migration phenomenon in Yucatan, Mexico. DOI: 10.37785/nw.v3n2.a12

Abstract

In this article, we reflect on a social research process in which we use digital audiovisual technologies to produce a documentary on the phenomenon of migration from the South of the Yucatan to the United States. We start from an intercultural vocation to promote co-authorship in the realization of the documentary, facilitated by the heuristic and creative potential, as well as by the accessibility, modularity and cultural transcoding that modern digital technologies allow in the audiovisual record and treatment. We propose that these new audiovisual writings communicate knowledge in an affective and rational way to open options for disseminating the work of social research with multiple interests in different audience.
