A entrevista narrativa como instrumento na investigação de fenômenos sociais na Linguística Aplicada. (Portuguese)

The narrative interview as an instrument in the investigation of social phenomena in Applied Linguistics. (English)

This paper, part of my doctoral dissertation, addresses the way to design, conduct and analyze a narrative interview as presented by Schütze (1992a; 1992b) and Jovchelovitch and Bauer (2000); and discusses its potential as an instrument in the investigation of social phenomena in Applied Linguistics. Its main feature is the non-interference of the interviewer, who carries the interview under the premise of giving the interviewees the utmost amount of freedom of coming out with their own story according to the level of complexity in which they are perceived. Such characteristic meets the Applied Linguistics assumptions which in seeking to understand a particular social reality, excel the legitimacy of research procedures that, in and through the language, gets as close as possible to the perceived reality of the interviewees - individuals who belong to even focused social context and therefore, they are liable to (re) build such reality, modify it, influence it and be influenced by its conformation.

Este artigo, recorte de minha tese de doutoramento, discorre sobre as formas de elaborar, conduzir e analisar entrevistas narrativas, conforme proposta por Schütze (1992a; 1992b) e Jovchelovitch e Bauer (2000) e discute sua potencialidade como instrumento na investigação de fenômenos sociais na Linguística Aplicada. Sua principal característica é a não interferência do pesquisador, que desenvolve a entrevista sob a premissa de oferecer total liberdade aos entrevistados para contar suas próprias histórias, no nível de enredamento em que as percebem. Tal característica vai ao encontro dos pressupostos da Linguística Aplicada que, em busca de compreender uma determinada realidade social, prima pela legitimidade de procedimentos de pesquisa que, na e pela linguagem, chegue o mais próximo possível da realidade manifestada pelo entrevistado, indivíduo inserido na realidade social focalizada pela pesquisa e, portanto, capaz de (re)construir essa realidade, modificá-la, influenciá-la e sofrer influência de sua conformação.
