“…Historical investigation involves a number of stages, from collecting the evidence, carrying out the process of internal criticism in order to authenticate the evidence, external criticism through the comparison of the evidence with other available material and finally, synthesising the evidence into a meaningful form (Gottschalk 1956). The degree of truth derived from historical investigation is argued by some to be of higher order than via the scientific method (Elton 1967).…”

Purpose of this paper:To evaluate an alternative methodological approach to researching international entrepreneurship which mirrors the creativity of successful entrepreneurial organisations. Design/methodology/approach: The biographical approach discussed overcomes the pervasive linear thinking found in the wider management discipline. Successful entrepreneurial practice is anything but linear. This notion is embraced in the consideration of a methodology which mirrors its non-linear path. Findings:A biographical approach constructs richer and deeper data which would otherwise remain undiscovered. It allows for a more flexible approach to research. Triangulation with the more usual methods of survey work and in-depth interview ensures that quality and rigour are maintained throughout. Research limitations/implications:Research which adopts a more considered, critical perspective is limited in international entrepreneurship. There is evidence that critical entrepreneurship researchers are embracing alternative methodologies such as narrative, discursive and literary approaches which complement and challenge existing dominant thinking. Practical implications:Up to now, many practitioners have felt that researchers do not listen sufficiently to their stories of success and failure and that there is a lack of meaningful engagement with them. The approach discussed here helps to improve the relationship between researcher and researched. What is original/value of the paper? Following more creative approaches such as those espoused in this paper can help to facilitate more meaningful interaction between the researcher and the biographical subject.

“…This is to a large extent caused by the supposed subjectivity of the researchers and the informants on whom they depend for an understanding of the case. However, various studies show that inconsistency and bias are just as likely to occur in conducting experiments (Rosenthal 1966), designing questionnaires for surveys (Arias 2003) and performing historical analysis (Gottschalk 1968).…”

“…O outro cultural/linguístico não tinha oportunidade para as palavras, nem sequer para retornar o olhar. Essas decisões foram consolidadas na tradição historiográfica ocidental, no duradouro marco da disciplina histórica como o conhecimento especializado do passado (GARRAHAN, 1946;GOTTSCHALK, 1950;SHAFER, 1974 O texto bíblico, no que se refere a fé (crer sem ver) e ao ceticismo (a necessidade de ver e tocar por si mesmo para aceitar o fato), reproduz a hierarquia prévia de fontes do conhecimento, mesmo que esta hierarquia esteja voltada para a fé. É interessante, de qualquer forma, o foco no tato, e não só na visão, com que se ilumina Tomé, já que trás para um primeiro plano a relação entre a preferência da visão como o órgão da percepção e compreensão dos fatos em termos de matéria, daí a necessidade de tocar.…”

RESUMOPor que no presente contexto territorial de intervenção do capital a arqueologia de contrato (AC) é tão eficiente em termos de mercado? No sentido de buscar uma resposta para esta questão será dissecada a profunda cumplicidade entre, por um lado, as premissas teórico-metodológicas tecnologicamente da AC e, por outro, as premissas ontológicas e epistemológicas hegemônicas mobilizadas pelas narrativas do desenvolvimento. Depois de apresentar os fundamentos da forma pós-disciplinar da AC, será exposta sua vocação totalitária implicada na oposição às vozes dissidentes não ouvidas. Em contextos de fronteira, AC pode ser vista tanto como uma expansão profissional eficiente (do ponto de vista hegemônico), quanto como uma trincheira na batalha pelos mortos. Palavras-chave: Epistemologia da arqueologia, disciplina, pós-disciplina. ABSTRACTWhy is it that, in the present context of territorial intervention of capital, contract archaeology (CA) is so efficient in terms of the market? In order to approach an answer to this question, the deep complicities between, on the one side, the theoretical-methodological assumptions technologically reconverted by CA and, on the other, the hegemonic ontological and epistemic assumptions mobilized by the narratives of development are anatomized. After featuring the fundamentals of the specific post-disciplinary form of CA, its totalitarian vocation implied in its opposition to the unheard dissident voices is exposed. In the context of the border, CA can be either seen as an efficient professional expansion (from the hegemonic viewpoint) or as a trench in the battle for the dead.
