Abstract
Fat studies must implement research techniques that enable the researcher to access discourse levels that go beyond the verbal. The qualitative technique of digital body mapping is an appropriate tool to bring us closer to the body, allowing all participants in the research process to engage in self-reflective exercises. Adapting techniques commonly carried out in physical spaces to online contexts is a methodological challenge that expands the dimensions of analysis by crossing and blurring the boundaries between the physical and the digital. In this article, the digital body mapping research technique is explored by providing a definition of the technique, presenting a genealogy of similar techniques, and finally, a reflection on the type of results this technique can obtain.
