This article is part of the proposal given by Rivera Beiras in this journal in 2016: the global critical criminology. A possible epistemological rupture in the discipline that implies expanding its limits of study and not committing the errors and forgetfulness of the past. On this basis, this paper aims to justify the importance of feminist methodology in the way of making and understanding this new criminological trend. A methodology, or rather, diverse feminist characteristics that, as an attempt to assert, can be considered indispensable in the ways of denouncing and making visible social harms or structural violence and making memory. Therefore, this paper will cover the historical role of women in the discipline, will address some of the proposals and contributions in defense of the satisfaction of human needs and will try to reflect empirically this position through a case study.

This paper reflects on the understanding of the tourism phenomenon from social research in the era of big data, analyzing the use of artificial intelligence to identify emotions, social networks on the internet to draw user profiles and scoring systems to compute ratings. New research practices, arising from marketing, may relegate the measurement instruments that social scientists have traditionally used. Conditioned by their business purpose, these innovative techniques contain ethical and methodological problems that, in the field of tourism, are related to attempts to analyze emotions and opinions quantitatively. Problems that can become an object of analysis for the sociology of tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
