Resumo: This paper discusses some methodological aspects of a field research conducted from August 2018 to February 2019, as part of a broader study about face to face communication in a company. It studied interactional episodes during 12 meetings of a project board, focusing on the micro-scale interactions. However, during the study, several methodological issues have arisen, some of them stirred by the works of Erving Goffman, which had provided some initial insights for field research: (a) is there a ‘goffmanian’ method for micro-observation? (b) How to observe the micro-scale events and simultaneously being part of it? (c) How to register the observation findings’ in a valid description of what have been seen? This paper addresses these questions as part of a epistemological discussion on communication research methods.

Foram estudados episódios interacionais durante 12 reuniões de um comitê de projeto, focalizando as interações em microescala. Durante o período de observação, no entanto, surgiram várias questões metodológicas, discutidas aqui a partir dos trabalhos de Erving Goffman, uma das referências da pesquisa: (a) existe um método “goffmaniano” para micro-observação? (b) Como observar os eventos de microescala quando se faz parte dela? (c) Como elaborar uma descrição válida do que foi visto? Estas questões são pensadas como parte de uma discussão epistemológica sobre métodos de pesquisa em comunicação.Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing2020-04-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Metodológicaapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/208010.18568/cmc.v17i48.2080Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; Vol. 17 No. 48 (2020): JANEIRO/ABRIL; 61-83Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; Vol. 17 Núm. 48 (2020): JANEIRO/ABRIL; 61-83Comunicação Mídia e Consumo; v. 17 n. 48 (2020): JANEIRO/ABRIL; 61-831983-707010.18568/cmc.v17i48reponame:Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo (Online)instname:Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)instacron:ESPMporenghttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/2080/pdfhttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/article/view/2080/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2020 Comunicação Mídia e Consumoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartino, Luis Mauro SáSantos, Ana Paula2020-09-04T16:50:35Zoai:ojs.revistacmc.espm.br:article/2080Revistahttps://revistacmc.espm.br/revistacmc/oaiPRIhttp://revistacmc.espm.br/index.php/revistacmc/oaithoff@espm.br||revistacmc@espm.br1983-70701806-4981opendoar:2020-09-04T16:50:35Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo (Online) - Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)false
