SANTOS, Larissa Galdino de Magalhães; GALDEANO, Ana Paula    CARDOSO, Monnique Greice Malta. For a critical, reflective and engaged technology with the public. []. , 19, spe, pp.199-221. ISSN 2175-1390.

The paper points out the potential of the Com Rio Com Mar subproject as a social technology for participatory governance of the publics affected by the Fundão dam spill, which overflowed in the municipalities and riverside communities of Espírito Santo state/Brazil. The article discusses the relationship between researchers and the public created, associated, supported or stimulated by the project, highlighting methodological and epistemological issues, and the potential for institutional fits between civil society and the State. It is argued that Public Sociology and action research are important apparatus to work with disaster-stricken subjects. The article draws on materials produced in the interactions with those affected, through political ethnographic and focus groups during the workshops promoted by the project, which suggest the need to recreate the tool according to local reality.
