| Riassunto: | This article stems from a research internship I undertook in São Paulo, Brazil, as part of my doctoral project. As a white Portuguese woman researching the relationship between museum narratives and racism in Portuguese society, this internship forced me to confront my own colonial/racist imaginary. This confrontation was prompted and documented by a personal archive, used as a methodological tool to decolonise both research and researcher. This article presents the process of creating this personal archive and its decolonising effects on the research so other researchers can assess the relevance of this decolonising methodology and possibly reproduce and expand on it. |
