Resumo: This article explores the enactment of ethical and social concerns regarding nanotecnologies. Informed by the assumption that participatory devices are performative, a research team in Coimbra, Portugal, recognized the political dimension of social sciences and reconfigured the mainstream focus groups through the incorporation of two methodological innovations: the Theatre of the Oppressed and the Pedagogy of the Oppressed. The participants, instead of being limited to the elicitation of abstract considerations on nanotechnologies, mediated their perspectives through social experiences and contexts, presenting them as theatrical performances. The aim of this article is to reflect on the role of researchers, materials and the design of the focus groups in the enactment of participatory subjects, elaborating on the articulations of participatory assemblages, subjectivities and politics.

Partindo do pressuposto de que os dispositivos de participação pública são performativos, uma equipa de pesquisa em Coimbra, Portugal, reconheceu a dimensão política das ciências sociais e transformou os tradicionais grupos de discussão através da introdução de duas inovações metodológicas: o Teatro do Oprimido e a Pedagogia do Oprimido. Os participantes, ao invés de se limitarem a uma mera enunciação de considerações abstratas sobre as nanotecnologias, mediaram as suas visões através das suas experiências e situações sociais e apresentaram-nas sob a forma de performances teatrais. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir acerca do papel dos pesquisadores, dos materiais utilizados e do desenho dos grupos de discussão na constituição de sujeitos participativos, elaborando acerca das associações entre agenciamentos participativos, subjetividades e política.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2015-01-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/5923Estudos de Sociologia; v. 19 n. 37 (2014): Dossiê: Políticas ciêntíficas, inovação social e tecnologias1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/5923/5233Copyright (c) 2015 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho, AntónioNunes, João Arriscado2021-05-12T13:47:41Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/5923Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-12T13:47:41Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
