"As the pluralisation of spheres of life emerged, qualitative research became
more relevant to study social relations. In an attempt to recognise
the potential of the documentary method and of participatory research for
the study of issues concerning the social and educational experiences of
subjects, this article proposes to present conceptual and methodological
frameworks of both approaches. Initially we explain the historical context
of participatory research and also present the frameworks of reference of
this approach. Then we discuss the documentary method developed in
Germany since the 1980s based on Karl Mannheim's sociology of knowledge.
Furthermore the authors describe the ethnographic route of two
experiments in research with young Brazilians in different socio-spatial
contexts. These experiments were guided by the assumptions of the documentary
method, but also by principles that establish points in common
with the assumptions of participatory research." (author's abstract)
