Abstract

RESUMO -Oficinas de TrabalhoBiográfico: pesquisa, pedagogia e ecologia de saberes. O texto apresenta e desenvolve os pressupostos teóricos da proposta pedagógica que são as oficinas de trabalho biográfico junto de pesquisadores e estudantes universitários das ciências sociais e humanidades. São revisitadas as suas diversas etapas e contextualizada a proposta no quadro mais vasto da teoria da ecologia de saberes de Boaventura de Sousa Santos em equação com a corrente actual da pesquisa biográfica tal como esta é desenvolvida no quadro da associação internacional Le Sujet dans la Cité.Palavras-chave: Epistemologia Cívica.

The following paper introduces and develops the theoretical assertions of the pedagogical proposition of biographical workshops, as they are used with and by academic researchers and students in the Social and Human Sciences. These assertions are revisited in their various steps and their proposal is contextualized under the wider scope of the theory of the ecology of knowledge, by Boaventura de Souza Santos, aligning with the current ideas concerning biographic research, as it is developed by the international association Le Sujet dans la Cité.

Pesquisa biográfica junto de imigrantes em Portugal: experiência de pesquisa participativa e relevância analítica dos testemunhos privados

“…The confrontation between the normative discourse on immigration and the actual immigrant experiences "in flesh and blood" constitutes a central aspect of our analytic work, of our methodological proposal based on biographical workshops (LECHNER, 2012), and our effort to raise awareness through audiovisual outputs that will be produced by the project (the documentary film).…”

“…We sought to uncover the biographic experiences of immigrants in Portugal based on their own stories revealed during individual interviews, informal encounters, and biographical workshops (LECHNER, 2012) or group accounts.…”

“…Each one of these workshops lasted three days and followed the same structure and protocol of exercises (listen, share, echoes) analyzed in the article previously mentioned and dedicated to the biographical workshops. (LECHNER, 2012).…”

The migrant patient, the doctor and the (im)possibility of intercultural communication: silences, silencing and non-dialogue in an ethnographic context

“…More recently, we have developed a research project with immigrants in Portugal based on these workshops, where an attuned listening exercise introduces the participants to an experience of 'shared diversity', or communality in diversity, since each one experiences the same exercise in very different ways. A paper in Portuguese examines in detail the functioning and analytical dimensions of the workshops (Lechner, 2012). Rugira quotes Simone Weil about the transition from attention to perception: 'Extreme attention is what constitutes man's creative faculty […] The amount of creative genius in a period is rigorously proportional to the amount of extreme attention'.…”

Recherche participative : contribution à partir d’un travail effectué avec des migrants dans la ville de Coimbra

“…Seuls des étudiants (originaires de cinq pays : Argentine, Brésil, Cap Vert, Chine et Ukraine) ont participé au premier ; pour le second, nous avons eu la présence d'un groupe mixte, plutôt hétérogène (étudiants, non-étudiants, un immigrant illettré) issu de sept pays différents : Angola, Australie, Brésil, Cap Vert, Côte d'Ivoire, São Tomé, Ouzbékistan. Chacun de ces ateliers a duré trois jours et s'est déroulé selon les mêmes structure et protocole d'exercices (écoute, partage, résonances) analysés dans l'article déjà référencé (Lechner, 2012).…”
