Methodological intersections in Communication research

Abstract

This paper1 1 This paper draws on results from the research project “The methodological analysis of learning and the consolidation of research practice in the field of Communication”, with support from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (MCTIC/CNPq n. 28/2018). places methodology at the center of the configuration of communication knowledge in terms of its investigative processualities. That is, methodology is not seen as a given but, rather, as a process in which the researcher, in configuring research, is likewise configured by it themselves. The focus is to discuss the processes of learning and teaching methods in Communications from the perspective of three intersections: epistemological, political, and subjective. Exploring these dimensions reveals that the methodological maturation of the field of Communications includes discussions on epistemic dependence, on the links between theory and methodology, on reflexivity, as well as on the encouragement towards epistemological curiosity and the configuration of places of listening.
