Abstract

RIBEIRO GUIMARAES VINCI, Christian Fernando  and  RIBEIRO, Cintya Regina. About letters and research methods: Experimentation and prudence as research ethos. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.1, pp.189-207.  Epub July 21, 2022. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.21065.

The aim of this article is to understand the intricate relationship between the notions of experimentation and prudence in the Capitalism & Schizophrenia collection, written by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, as well as the ways in which each volume operationalized its thinking endeavors based on some methodological elements of the joint work of the authors. This discussion, which can be conducted both through the analysis of the letters exchanged between Deleuze and Guattari during the elaboration of Capitalism & Schizophrenia, as well as by reading the notes compiled by Guattari at the same time, can greatly contribute to the work of researchers interested in the deleuzian and/or deleuze-guattarian theoretical-conceptual input, especially in the educational field. Therefore, this article intends to contribute to methodological discussions in education that, based on the philosophy of Deleuze and Deleuze-Guattari, are concerned with the construction of a research ethos, rather than a research method. To do so, an overview of the appropriations of this idea of experimentation by contemporary Brazilian educational research is presented, in order to improve the discussion on the relationship between the notions of prudence and experimentation in Capitalism & Schizophrenia. We focus on Deleuze and Guattari's own work method, with a view to extracting methodological problematizations that can be strategic for researchers, with regard to ways of dealing with problems, in education.
