(auto)biographical research

word, subject, and experience in poetic narrative

Abstract

This article aims to make some scores on the investigative fi eld of (Auto)biographical Research, addressing the experience as a structuring concept of this fi eld, refl ecting 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-scientifi c production. The article is structured in sections, i.e.: Introduction; (Auto)Biographical Research: historical notes and fi eld 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 refl ections presented dialogue with some theorists of this investigative fi eld, 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).
