Resumo: | This article is about the outcomes of our doctoral research "Social reintegration: discourses and practices in prison - a comparative study", in which we analyzed some projects developed by civil society organizations in prisons in São Paulo and in Catalonia (Spain). To this end, we used a qualitative research methodology. Through interviews with people involved, directly and indirectly, with the projects (volunteers, inmates, prison’ officials), documentary research (projects, memorials, manuals) and some ethnographical accounts of the work of the selected entities in prisons. In this paper, the question of method in Criminology is highlighted, as are reflections on empirical research in a prison environment. In a research performed in such a restrictive space as a prison, explaining the ways of inserting oneself in the field is an exercise that reveals the mechanisms of power in operation and eventually leads the researcher back to the subject of the thesis itself. After all, many of the obstacles and barriers that a researcher faces to enter a prison are the same ones faced by organizations and individuals from civil society. This article is about the paths and challenges experienced by these people in order to reduce segregation and isolation imposed by prison walls. |

Para tanto, utilizou-se metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa, com o emprego de três métodos: entrevistas semidirigidas com os envolvidos direta e indiretamente com os projetos (voluntários, presos, diretores de entidades, funcionários da prisão); pesquisa documental (projetos, memoriais, manuais); e, relatos etnográficos produzidos a partir da observação in loco do trabalho desenvolvido pelas entidades selecionadas nos estabelecimentos prisionais. Neste paper, ganha destaque a questão do método em criminologia e as reflexões acerca da pesquisa empírica na prisão. Em uma pesquisa situada em um espaço tão hermético como a prisão, explicitar os caminhos de inserção do campo é um exercício que desvela os mecanismos de poder em funcionamento, e acaba por levar o pesquisador de volta ao objeto da própria tese. Afinal, muitos dos empecilhos e barreiras criadas para a entrada do pesquisador na prisão são os mesmos com que se deparam as entidades e pessoas da sociedade civil. Esse artigo é uma reflexão acerca dos caminhos e dos desafios vivenciados por aqueles que adentram o espaço prisional enfrentando o isolamento impostos por seus muros.Rede de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2014-01-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEmpirical research; Qualitative methodsPesquisa Empírica Qualitativa; Entrevistas Semiestruturadasapplication/pdfhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/410.19092/reed.v1i1.4Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2014): Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal StudiesRevista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; v. 1 n. 1 (2014): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2319-081710.19092/reed.v1i1reponame:Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinstname:Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)instacron:RPEDporhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/4/4Braga, Ana Gabriela Mendesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-05T16:25:37Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/4Revistahttps://reedrevista.org/reedONGhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/oaimvchein@gmail.com||reed.revista@gmail.com2319-08172319-0817opendoar:2020-07-05T16:25:37Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito - Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)false |
