O trabalho intelectual sob a óptica do artesanato e a cidade como campo de pesquisa

Abstract

The idea behind this article is to approach the city as an archive, tanking as a reference point Wright Mills’s concept of intellectual craftsmanship. The connections between craft and urban space allow us to consider the city’s immense potencial for creating in which everyday experiences associated with micro or macrosocial processes are propagated. The text presentes explores Wright Mills’s notion of intellectaul craftsmanship, combining his ideas with my own personal research experience, conducted in an urban contex. The principle of intellectual craftsmanship also enables a reflection on the current conditions of the academic work of sociologists.
