Itinerários de uma escolha – um memorial

Abstract

This essay describes poetic and criticaly the trajectory of a professional choice. It shows, from the perspective of Marx and Bourdieu, that class position is an essential element to define the professional project of an individual. However, it also shows that there is a certain flexibility on the conjugation of the elements that determine the project. On the other hand, this essav is an example of the parciality of interpretation in social sciences, that is, in order to compose her narrative, the author only chooses those facts that rational and explicity interest to the politics of her narrative, silencing on facts that, even thougn equally revealing, are not appropriate for this kind of discourse.
