ABS081 - Emotion in practice: researching from a cultural-historical perspective - Board 22

This work is linked to the works of the Practice, Subjectivity and Organizations UP/CAPES/BRASIL research group of the Research in Management Nucleus (UTFPR), which is also part of the research projects for the Study of Educational Practices: promoting human development and defending the diversity of the Line of Research in Cognition, Learning and Human Development UFPR/CAPES/BRASIL. The aim of this work is to return to the ontological, epistemological, methodological and conceptual concepts that guide the bibliographic production of authors in these lines of research. These concepts have to do with research practices from a cultural-historical perspective, with emphasis on emotion in this human activity in concrete conditions of existence.
The authors use the concept of social practice as an analytical category, understanding it as “the smallest significant unit of study for organizational research” (Bulgacov et al., 2014, p. 02). The concern is the establishment of conceptual foundations that supported for qualitative research development
This research practice considers both the researcher and the research subject as reflexive beings capable of assigning new meanings to their actions, broadening the scope of their power to act, counteracting traditional forms of organizational research and including the research subject:
“As a protagonist in the reflexive activity in research that describes and analyzes together with the researcher, increasing his awareness of local practices and global texts, and assigning new meanings to his actions, broadening the scope of possibilities regarding his power to act” (Bulgacov et al., 2014, p. 12).
