JUSTO, José Sterza; LIMA, José Carlos Franco de  and  CEDENO, Alejandra Astrid Leon. Social Psychology and Anthropology: participant and ethnographic research experiences. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.1, pp.1-7. ISSN 1809-8908.

This article is an account of research experiences conducted in theoretical and methodological intersections of social psychology with anthropology. The objective is to describe and discuss two research experiences that address psychosocial phenomena, conducted at the interfaces of these two disciplines. Both have been occurring since 1993. The first one is carried out with road walkers through contacts established on the roadsides, and the second is carried out through an action research project with popular communities. As a main result, it is possible to highlight the fecundity and effectiveness of the use of resources from ethnography and participatory research in studies and practices focused on distinct subjectivation processes, as is the case with those that unfold in popular communities that live in well-defined anthropological places and constituted and those that unfold in situations of wandering and of transit by non-places, as happens with wanderers of road.

Keywords : Social Psychology; Anthropology; Participant research; Ethnography.
