DESENHO, REFLEXIVIDADE E PRODUÇÃO DE SENTIDOS: UMA PROPOSTA TEÓRICO-METODOLÓGICA EM PSICOLOGIA SOCIAL PÓS-CONSTRUCIONISTA

Abstract

The use of drawings made by the researcher-designer in social psychology is unusual as a production of knowledge and even as a dissemination of results. Although, we find traces of the use of drawing in experimental studies of classical social psychology. In such studies the drawings appear to be far removed from the performative roots of social science or contemporary trends in arts-based research. It was limited to illustrations of procedures, marking the spatial arrangement between experimenter and research participants. In this article, I aim to defend the use of the drawing carried out by the researcher-designer as one of the strategies for visibility and rigor in the production process and analysis of information in research in constructionist/post-constructionist social psychology. I used information produced in an investigation into pre-7,0s. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, drawings were created throughout the information production and analysis process. In this article, I describe the production of meanings, reflectivity and defamiliarization that my meeting with one of the interviewees who used PrEP and became infected with HIV generated, fictitious name Plutón. I detail the stages of elaboration of the “Sexualidad Atenta” design: the present absence of the invisible and PrEP, 2022, and the theoretical-methodological repercussions resulting from questioning whether it was a “negative example”. I conclude that drawing helped me understand that it was not a negative example in the psychosocial reading proposed by the adopted theoretical framework.
