Resumen	Interpretive institutional ethnography (IIE) is a qualitative research design that combines Dorothy Smith's institutional ethnography — which maps how institutional texts and social relations coordinate everyday life — with an explicitly interpretive, meaning-centered stance. Rather than stopping at describing ruling relations, the researcher asks what those relations mean to people embedded in them and how participants actively interpret institutional demands and texts in their lived experience.	Discourse analysis is a qualitative research methodology that examines how language, communication, and power shape meaning, identity, and social reality. Developed across linguistics, sociology, and psychology (particularly by Norman Fairclough and Jonathan Potter), discourse analysis goes beyond content to analyze language use as a social practice that constitutes and reflects power relations, ideologies, and social structures.
