Learn to Listen Beyond the Word. Experiences from Collaborative Ethnography

Based on a collaborative ethnography with a movement that fights for the right to housing, the text aims to share the listening devices that have been deployed in the research process, its implications and meanings. Practices of knowledge materialized in debates groups that transcended the exclusive relationship between listening and speaking, to function as a meeting between the feelings, sayings and doings of the group. The text analyzes the debate groups from three dimensions: the knowledge practices in common, in opposition to individualistic knowledge, listening as a care practices, interest and the artisan dimension. For last, the paper reflects on times paradox, where the institutional end of the project has meant the beginning to get into the community narratives.
