COSTA, Márcio Luis and CASTRO, Gillianno M. de. Ethical and political crossing in the experience in research in Social History of Psychology. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp.277-294. ISSN 1808-4281.
The object of study in this article is the ethical-political crossing in research in Social History of Psychology, and we propose a reflection on the meaning of crossing and its impact in that field of research. This is a bibliographical study that seeks to promote a dialogue between two fields: philosophy and research. The methodological strategy is to promote a dialogue between the concept of ethical-political as possible crossing and the practice as a research field that allows to be crossed. Therefore, it makes use of logic analyzers from Phenomenology of Levinas' ethics and Arendt's politics. In this discussion, Phenomenology allows reaching an understanding of crossing research and experience gaps, strengths and possibilities. On the other hand, politics permit to evidence that research takes place in the public space as alterities space. Ethics, however, points out to the horizon in which we are able to think and perform crossings, what means, the place that creates a space to relations of otherness.
