Resumo: Literary journalism, or long form reporting, intersects sociological research at the methodological level when analysing urban problems. To establish the connection between literary journalism and sociology, we focus on the influence early literary journalists had on the sociological/imagological and narrative construction of social problems and how literary journalism continues to be a tool in the unveiling of risk-related issues such as the exploitation of cheap labour and the degradation of urban environments. We examine a corpus of literary journalism texts through qualitative methods, namely content and discourse analysis, to conclude that literary journalism and sociology resort to the same data gathering methodologies, interviews, surveys and statistics, while narratively exposing life at the socioeconomic peripheries.

A fim de estabelecer um elo entre o jornalismo literário e a sociologia, focamo-nos na influência que os primeiros jornalistas literários tiveram na construção narrativa, sociológica e imagética dos problemas sociais e como aquele continua a ser instrumental para a revelação de problemas associados ao risco, como a exploração de trabalho não qualificado ou a degradação do espaço urbano. Examinamos um corpus de textos jornalístico-literários através de métodos qualitativos, nomeadamente análise de discurso e de conteúdo, para concluir que o jornalismo literário e a sociologia recorrem às mesmas metodologias de recolha de dados, entrevistas, inquéritos, estatísticas, com o fito de exporem as condições de vida nas periferias socioeconómicas.Le journalisme littéraire, où se classent le reportage et la chronique, emprunte sa méthodologie à la recherche sociologique lorsqu’il analyse les problèmes urbains. Afin d’établir un lien entre le journalisme littéraire et la sociologie, nous nous sommes centrés sur l’influence qu’ont eue les premiers journalistes littéraires sur la construction narrative, sociologique et imagière des problèmes sociaux et sur la façon dont ce journalisme est instrumental dans la révélation de problèmes associés au risque, tels que l’exploitation du travail non qualifié ou la dégradation de l’espace urbain. Nous avons examiné un corpus de textes journalistiques littéraires au travers de méthodes qualitatives, notamment l’analyse du discours et du contenu, pour conclure que le journalisme littéraire et la sociologie utilisent les mêmes méthodologies de collecte de données, interviews, enquêtes, statistiques, dans le but d’exposer les conditions de vie des périphéries socioéconomiques.El periodismo literario, alojado en el reportaje y en la crónica, intersecta la búsqueda sociológica a nivel metodológico cuando analiza los problemas urbanos. Con el fin de establecer un eje entre el periodismo literario y la sociología, nos enfocamos en la influencia que los primeros periodistas literarios tuvieron en la construcción narrativa, sociológica e imagética de los problemas sociales y como aquel sigue siendo instrumental en la revelación de problemas asociados al riesgo como la explotación de trabajo no-calificado o la degradación del espacio urbano. Examinamos un corpus de textos periodístico-literarios a través de métodos cualitativos, particularmente el análisis de discurso y de contenido, para concluir que el periodismo literario y la sociología acuden a las mismas metodologías de recolección de datos, entrevistas, investigaciones, estadísticas, con el objetivo de exponer las condiciones de vida en las periferias socioeconómicas.Editora Mundos Sociais2017-05-04T10:04:19Z2017-05-01T00:00:00Z2017-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/13203eng0873-652910.7458/SPP2017843466Soares, Isabelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-25T17:31:15ZPortal AgregadorONG
