MONTEIRO, Bruno. Bakhtiniana: using Mikhail Bakhtin to the ethnography of the everyday practices of work. Etnográfica [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.3, pp.443-469. ISSN 0873-6561.

In this paper, we try to show, starting from a research on the industrial work, the relevance that Mikhail Bakhtin’s intellectual proposals have for the ethnography. After the characterization of the site of inquiry, we highlight the epistemic value of notions such as “eventness”, “context of enunciation” and “chronotope”. These notions are not treated under hermeneutic intentions, but always to point out their heuristic potential for the ethnography of everyday practices of working. The paper ends with the suggestion of tuning up the ethnography with the requirements of “participative thinking.” The immediate engagement of the researcher on unique and concrete events, while still allowing for the use of conceptual instruments and procedures of self-reflection, also shows the limits and virtues of understanding the ethnography as a process of knowledge in act.

Palabras clave : Bakhtin; ethnography; eventness; chronotope; participative thinking.
