Y si no fuera por el hueso: escritura autoetnográfica de un hombre y enfermero.

Reflecting from lived experience, to build knowledge through it, has been essential to weave this text. Which is a piece of my doctoral research. Objective: To simultaneously describe and analyze family, professional, and personal aspects, subsumed in a social structure. Method: From autoethnographic methodology, I intend to approach research and writing, seeking to systematically describe and analyze a personal experience to understand the cultural experience. I use layered narration in order to show a dialectical experience, where different reflective voices appear that produce and interpret the text. Results: issues emerged: the relationship with my father, the family machismo and the context where I moved, the pedagogy of pain, the asymmetry of power, the latter two that correspond, according to what was narrated and witnessed by me, to an embedded knowledge structure in a patriarchal system, rooted and perpetuated from the family to the social, passing through the institution of knowledge, the university. Conclusion: Autoethnography is a research methodology that focuses attention on one's own experience. Which, for this case, refers to the construction of knowledge from my position as a nurse and a man. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
