Reflexividade como éthos da pesquisa qualitativa

Résumé 0

"This paper seeks to promote reflection on ethics in anthropological and qualitative re- search and emphasize the comprehensive, rela- tional and reflective character of this process, as well as the advantages and problems that arise from different logic and often conflicting interests between researchers and their interlocutors. The text is divided into four parts and addresses the ethical: (a) significance of these approaches; (b) behavior of the researcher in the field; (c) analy- sis of the empirical material; and (d) consider- ations in the preparation of results of anthropo- logical and qualitative studies, using some classic examples from the international literature. The paper concludes by reflecting on the distinction between the requirements of the Ethics Commit- tee and the Ethics of research itself. It must be clear that the comprehensive sense of ethics which includes the responsibility of the researcher can- not be condensed in the instruments required for the judgment of projects because the following el- ements are involved in the development of re- search, namely the social significance of the work, the institutional relations with fund providers, how to treat staff and research students in aca- demic work and commitments with the scientific community."
