FIELD RESEARCH ON DISCOURSE ANALYSIS: DISCUSSING A DISPOSITIVE TO APPROACH ON MEANINGS OF WORK IN THE EVERYDAY LIFE IN SCHOOL

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the methodological choices in fieldresearch, from discourse studies. We analyze an experience of field research in the staff room of a public school in Rio de Janeiro. In discussing the methodological choices, preference was given to the concepts of active responsive understanding (BAKHTIN, 2000) and speech genres (BAKHTIN, 2000; MAINGUENEAU, 2001). As a result, we observe the productivity of these concepts in an institutional viewpoint of language practices.
