Pesquisa-intervenção e direitos humanos. Apontamentos arqueológicos e genealógicos na análise de documentos.

Abstract

This article offers a description of a toolbox for discourse analysis in research-intervention in human rights. We enmesh contributions by Michel Foucault, Paul Veyne, Gilles Deleuze, Arlete Farge, Jacques Le Goff and Émile Chartier into a conversation within the operative narrative of the weave of history. We focus on a variety of historical source materials: oral documentary, such as interviews; written texts, such as field diaries, printed forms, work plans, projects and programs, letters, posters, legal papers, books; images, such as photographs, paintings, caricatures; equipment operator records which reveal workplace safety practices; and artistic documentary materials such as songs, dances, performances and body marks which convey the stories of life. With the patience of the genealogist or the archivist, we seek to present lines and pathways that create an analytical assemblage (dispositif) of concrete practices while going against the grain of the diagrammatic perspective of cartography.
