Objective/Context: The purpose of this paper is to discuss methodological aspects in order to understand political exiles, through feminist ethnography. Methodology: This research applies multi-sited ethnography with exiled women and is framed between 2008 and 2019. On the basis of the exploration of international forced migration from Colombian women to Barcelona, Spain, I propose to shed light on feminist ethnographies as an interstitial point, close to the private dimension of the subjects, and as a place of enunciation to claim a reflexive process of social research. Conclusion: The focus of this paper is to understand that ethnographic practice and the migrants› trajectories, assume a conquering of the private and public worlds in the host societies. It also focuses on understanding the complexity for women to produce knowledge in a context of war and inequality. Originality: The paper develops three different aspects as follows: first, it explores bodies of the ethnographers and the travelers in movement. Second, it examines the private as a category that goes beyond the textual in order to approach the relation between bodies, sounds, and objects. Third, the work highlights the importance of reflexivity, which generates ethics of collaboration, feminine pacts, and ethnographies of contact. © 2019, Universidad de los Andes, Bogota Colombia.
