COLOMBO, Enzo. Reflexivity and writing. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.1, pp.15-26. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644420690.

This article intends to focus on the notion of reflexivity, approaching the significance to contemporary experience. Unlike traditional reflexivity, equivalent to virtue and modern reflexivity, equivalent to self-reflection and inner dialogue, this article proposes the notion of "constructionist reflexivity" to highlight the recursive process of inclusion of social products in the factuality of reality. In the second part, the article sets into question the concept of "constructionist reflexivity" as an instrument for describing social reality, with special reference to the sociological writing. As a final point, it suggests three main dimensions to develop a form of constructionist reflective writing: listening, criticism and responsibility.

Keywords : Reflexivity; Writing; Social Construction of Reality.
