PADILLA-PETRY, Paulo    HERNANDEZ-HERNANDEZ, Fernando. Ideals and alterity in a research about the relationship between young people and knowledge. []. , 18, 1, pp.14-33. ISSN 1415-7128.

In a research about Spanish secondary school's dropout considering the relationship between young people and knowledge, we interviewed both young people considered as successful or as a failure by the school in a semi-open manner. In the narrations written along with the young people, the relationships between them and the researchers were made explicit as well as the ones between the researchers themselves. This paper discusses the place of the Other for each researcher occupied by the researchers' group and by the young people. We also debate the role of the researchers' ideals in these relationships.
