SILVA, Ana Cecília Ramos Ferreira da and MESQUITA, Marcos Ribeiro. Policy and the Affects in Feminist Research Practices and the Encounter with "Young Black Women". Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.4, pp.1-25. ISSN 1809-8908.
This paper discusses the intersection between theoretical choices, affects, and political issues implicated in feminist research practices in psychology. The act of research is understood here as the sum of these various choices that together define the methodological path that is permeated by bonds, (dis) encounters, questions, experiences, interests, problems and exchanges that happen in the field and with the subjects who circulate in it. The epistemological proposals of intersectional feminism and the PesquisarCOM method were the theoretical and methodological bases that guided this study from a situated, partial and localized place. However, it was through the encounter with 'young black feminist women' and their trajectories of militancy - as they approach and distance them, as a result of their life experiences crossed by social markers of gender, generation and race - that the dialogue with these ways of doing research materialized.
