Entre o ensinar e o aprender: caminhos metodológicos para a compreensão de experiências urbanas.

Abstract

By means of the supervision work with undergraduate Social Sciences’ students, Anthropology has been to us a form of knowledge, at the same time when it offers methodological paths to consider urban experiences, to understand cities and the narratives and cultural elements forming its practices and lived experiences. Through two supervision works within the Research Group: Rastros Urbanos (Urban Tracks), we’ve aimed, through different research perspectives, other references to access urban experiences: the graffiti universe, with its graphics and narratives, as well as the trajectories of street people and their eating practices. The work drives us to compose the narrative frame of the circumstances of narratives and learning, which we face to understand the meanings of education and its agents: the professor-supervisor and the student as researcher. In the approached research universes, to include anthropological references as a field of theoretical and methodological articulations, makes us reflect upon the processes of teaching and learning and specific research choices, and to think about how we gaze upon cities and how the narratives about them are composed.
