Research (er) GEARTE: interaction and sense

Abstract

What is a research group? What possibilities of interaction and production of meaning can be identified? The present text intends to understand how the interactions resulting from the accomplishment of the research and the participation in a research group promote meanings from the ways of being and doing of those involved in this academic sociodiscursive interaction and how the dialogue among the researchers influence this interaction. The theoretical basis of the analysis is the discursive semiotics and some essential concepts regarding the relation between interaction and the production of meaning are presented at the beginning of the text. In the second part, experiences are taken up around the action of dialoguing to draw interactive pathways of meaning established between research completed before I joined the Group and research with simultaneous construction to mine. Finally, there is a reflection on the effects of meaning that the dialogue with GEARTE and its researchers left in my researcher.
