“…Nesse sentido, nós buscamos realizar as nossas escolhas metodológicas com o intuito de nos aproximar ao máximo do que dizem, sentem e vivem as crianças e, por isso, elegemos a etnografia, cujo método que se destaca é a observação participante, como um dos recursos que oportuniza e privilegia esta aproximação (James, 2001).…”

Resumo: O presente trabalho discute como a responsabilidade pelo outro é significada nas experiências intersubjetivas do cotidiano de crianças moradoras de uma comunidade localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, sudeste do Brasil. Partindo de uma problematização da normatividade que a noção de responsabilidade adquire nos estudos da infância, investigou-se em uma pesquisa de campo de caráter etnográfico com crianças de 4 a 13 anos de idade, como a dimensão relacional e afetiva da responsabilidade se apresenta no cotidiano. Os resultados encontrados mostram que as crianças são responsáveis pelo outro que as interpela afetivamente, quando a sua participação ativa se revela no âmbito do cuidado fraterno, da manutenção de seus lares e das posições de ajuda e proteção frente a outras pessoas com quem puderam compartilhar suas experiências. Palavras-chave:Infância; Responsabilidade; Alteridade; Cuidado; Participação Social. Abstract:The present work discusses how responsibility for somebody else is construed in the intersubjective experiences of the daily life of children living in a poor community located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The normative dimension of the notion of responsibility is

“…Photo albums, children's drawings and material belongings in families' domestic settings prompted stories from life in-between Greece and Albania enabling members to become ' analysts, interpreters and social critics of themselves' (Freidenberg, 1998: 174;Young and Barrett, 2001;Gabb, 2008). To improve my understanding of children's worlds in specific I listened to their stories, played, and conducted 'walking interviews' with them offering rich perspective of the places they and their families inhabited (Clark and Moss, 2001: 28;Reynolds, 1989;James, 2001). …”

Constructing Identity and Heritage at the Crossroads: Albanian Families’ Cross-Border Connections and Homemaking Projects in Athens

Drawing from the author’s ethnographic/participatory work with Albanian families in Athens, this paper tells the story of two families constructing identity and heritage in Greece and Albania. The processes involved in the families’ literal and metaphorical connections with the ‘old country’, manifested in cross-border links, everyday routines and material cultures, are integral to their homebuilding projects in their new locale. Given families’ multiple-place-allegiance and disenfranchised status in a Greek context, theories on transnationalism and history and heritage from below are utilised in order to consider identity and heritage formation in the course of everyday routines. It is argued that the experience of building lives in more than two worlds results in the emergence of plurilocal identities, challenging spatially bounded notions of heritage.

“…In research with children, James (2001) highlighted that the powerful status of the researcher as an adult is a central issue. Taking the stance that these issues are critical, I endeavoured to take a reflexive approach in the conduct of this research.…”
