Abstract

PACHECO, Carolina Simões  and  SALLAS, Ana Luisa Fayet. And what about the experience turning into field? Reflections from participant observation in secondary school occupations. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.3, pp.1121-1137.  Epub Oct 16, 2019. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.14n3.018.

This work is the result of the research field that guided the Master’s thesis entitled Ocupar e resistir: as ocupações das escolas públicas como parte do ciclo atual de mobilização juvenil no Brasil (Occupy and resist: the occupations of public schools as part of the current cycle of youth mobilization in Brazil). The report was organized based on excerpts from field work and aims to address this “entry” of the researcher “in the field”. It is based on the researcher’s experience as a participant who supported the movement of occupations and who subsequently became a study topic. The analysis of the present research can be described as “observant participation”, in a direct reference to Wacquant (2002) and aims to approach the theme from the qualitative methodology, as a significant construction in which the body constitutes an important part in the development of the research field.

Keywords : Youth; Social movements; Fieldwork.
