SOARES, Lissandra Vieira  and  MACHADO, Paula Sandrine. "Escrevivências" as methodological tool in production of knowledge in Social Psychology. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.39, pp.203-219. ISSN 1519-549X.

From the writing of life's histories of black women and their entanglements with Social Care Policy, the article presents the concept of "escrevivências", written by the author Conceição Evaristo, as a method of research and production of knowledge in Human Sciences and Social and, in particular, in the field of Social Psychology. The production of Evaristo points to the necessary nuisance that the writing of black women must provoke within the hegemonic scientific production, markedly white and androcentric, as a sign of the epistemic turn in which this production is inserted, as well as for sustaining the strength of an ethics engaged in militancy in the writings and political movements of black women. Still, we present analyzes based on the life's histories of black women and their paths in Social Assistance policy. Through them, different elements are problematized, such as aspects related to the management logic of the bodies and to the precariousness of the Social Care Policy, but also to the margins of the users' agency in relation to the accompaniment, their resistance movements and the fugitive trajectories used by them.

Keywords : Escrevivências; Black female writing; Research Methodology; Social Psychology; Social Care Policy.
