Uma proposta de pesquisa com os cotidianos

Abstract

his essay has as main objective to reflect on territoriality having as a core the concept of political quality in the methodological perspective of research with everyday life. It constitutes an essay because it lacks the necessary empiricity so that conceptual characters can be co-created in the dynamics of the five movements proposed by Andrade, Caldas and Alves (2019): the feeling of the world; always go beyond what is already known; create new conceptual characters; narrate life and literaturize science and feminine ecce. The approach of the concept of political quality through the five movements above helps us to question some assumptions that underlie the concept in the context of the production of territoriality in a specific case of transport services in the city of Jacobina, Bahia, in Piemonte da Diamantina. We understand that research with everyday life, as a methodological approach and epistemological principle, contributes significantly to the expansion of the concept of political quality as an analytical tool for understanding territoriality and other phenomena, based on the powers exercised by territorial agents in the dominant control cracks, in the gaps of permanent surveillance among which the forces unite unexpectedly to exercise the necessary territorialities. The political quality of this essay is at its point of arrival, in the sense that, considering its contribution to the understanding of a reality, it goes beyond the formal logic that is in its textual fabric that the research proposal with the quotidian in its movements can offer.
