CARTA DE ALGUM LUGAR DO FUTURO: NARRATIVAS DE CUNHO BIOGRÁFICO: Estratégia de geração de dados ”“ uma proposta “desencaixada” e reflexiva

Abstract

This paper presents a part of a reflexive research proposal, namely, a strategy of data generation that focuses on the representations of literacies in the academic field, as well as its application in the context of the formative action of the "Projeto Mulheres Inspiradoras". Thus, the strategy of data generation, named "Letter from somewhere in the future", proved to be productive at the event of evaluation of that project.  Therefore, the object of the proposal is not only to reveal the representations about the network of practices of the academy, but also to foster a critical awareness of these practices and the literacy that compose them. Thus, the theoretical-methodological framework is composed of  The Social Theory of Speech  of Fairclough (2001, 2003) and Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999); the New Literature Studies of Street (1995); Critical Linguistic Consciousness of Clark et al. (1996) and  the Critical Social Sciences, namely, the studies in Sociology on Postmodern Science of Santos (2008, 2011), the "controlled heterodoxy" approach of Lopes (1996) and the post-linear perspective of analysis of life narratives of  Pais (2001). As for the multi-methodological approach to conducting the research, we adopt the Qualitative Research and the Ethnographic Research of Cameron (1992) and Denzin and Lincoln (2006). It is hoped that proposal promotes a critical awareness of academic practices and literacy in order to foster the construction of inter-knowledge and the creative agency of researchers, teachers and students.
