Ethnographic Research: methodology and perspectives

Ethnography is a methodological and epistemological field. It marks research and knowledge in a way that is intertwined with the study of culture in intense dialogue with the perspective of the other. As praxis, it consists of an attitude that permeates actions and knowledge in different spaces. Research results from an ethnographic approach conducted in Brazil reflect the reach of this methodology.
