(auto)biographical research: word, subject, and experience in poetic narrative

ABSTRACT

This article aims to make some scores on the investigative field of (Auto)biographical Research, addressing the experience

as a structuring concept of this field, reflecting on the conception of biographical subject and the word as one of the raw

materials of narrative (Auto)-Biography, as well as arguing about the pertinence of poetic writing in academic-scientific

production. The article is structured in sections, i.e.: Introduction; (Auto)Biographical Research: historical notes and field

scores; The subject and the experience: polysemic duet, polyrhythmic, polyphonic, polychrome and inconclusive notes,

where I uncover the epistemological and methodological bases of the (AUTO)Biographical Research as a movement of

rupture of the paradigm of modern science that sacralizes the universal subject and generalization, because it is interested

in the meanings and meanings that the subject-experience- the biographical subject- attributes to its narratives and how it

reinvents itself. The reflections presented dialogue with some theorists of this investigative field, with emphasis on Souza’s

productions (2008, 2010, 2014, 2018), Passeggi (2016, 2017), Larrosa (2002, 2003, 2005), Delory-Momberger (2012,

2016, 2018, 2019), as well as establishes dialogue with the insubmissive poetics of Evaristo (2008) and the polygamy

of language in the poetry of Gonçalves (2020).

Keywords: Research (Auto)Biographical; the subject; experience.
