Abstract
In this paper I try to recover the corporeal and material activities that determine the fieldwork. Following Latour’s science studies suggestions, I stress how the material links and arrangements through the different settings of the fieldwork influence the nature of the resulting knowledge. I use the research experiences from fieldwork carried in high class gated communities in the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara in order to highlight how my symbolic and material distribution in the different settings conditioned the final findings. I conclude the article by assessing the potentialities derived from the epistemological paradigm of embodied realism to interpret fieldwork.
