Summary:ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: This paper presents an experience of Feminist Research developed within the course Methodological Innovations in Qualitative Research, taught in the career of Psychology at the University of Chile. The research consisted of an autoethnography of a Drag-King experience developed in three public places in the city of Santiago in Chile, and our purpose here is to discuss the joint between the methodology developed and the feminist epistemological perspective. Based on a collaborative dialogue we analyse some results of this research and the methodological decisions that were taken during the process. The focus of analysis is the creation of an ambiguous identity that stresses the social norms and allows its critical review, while producing at the same time a complex physical and emotional experience that challenges not only to the persons but also the ways of accounting that through specific narratives. // ABSTRACT IN SPANISH: En este trabajo presentamos una experiencia de Investigación Feminista desarrollada en el marco del curso Innovaciones Metodológicas en Investigación Cualitativa, dictado en la carrera de Psicología de la Universidad de Chile. La investigación consistió en una autoetnografía de una experiencia Drag-King desarrollada en tres espacios públicos de la ciudad de Santiago de Chile, y nuestro propósito aquí es problematizar la articulación entre la metodología utilizada y la perspectiva epistemológica feminista. Partiendo de un dialogo colaborativo se analizan algunos resultados de esta investigación y las decisiones metodológicas que se fueron adoptando durante el proceso. El eje de análisis es la conformación de una identidad ambigua que tensiona las normas sociales y que permite su revisión crítica, produciendo al mismo tiempo una experiencia física y emocional compleja que interpela no solamente a quienes la experimentan sino también a las formas de dar cuenta de ella a través de determinadas narrativas.
