Abstract
JABUR, Pedro de Andrade Calil. Castaway words: life histories of a homeless in Brasília. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.59, pp. 81-93. ISSN 0101-3106.
This article intends to present the elaboration of a methodological planning of a survey about the homeless population in Brasilia (Brazil). It starts from the idea that a research process rather than instrumental actions searching clear and pre-defined pathways, it is also a way of meeting, that involves both concrete situations and subjective and emotional factors. From the life history of a homeless, we pretend to discuss and analyze what we call 'castaway words', that indicates both social and structural condition and psychic and symbolic constructions. This article attempts to build a dialogue between theoretical and field material and a psychoanalytic perspective based on the relationship of the analitical pair.
