dc.description.abstractAs sustainability scientists increasingly put forward the relevance of process-relational approaches to make sense of social-ecological phenomena, an inquiry on which methods would fit a process-relational approach is necessary. This paper discusses how a process-relational approach can be applied to traditional qualitative research methods, namely interviews and coding and the tensions associated with it. Process-relational perspectives share commonalities with interpretative approaches but also present specific characteristics, such as the importance of material aspects and the understanding of the phenomenon as a moment in which different elements become defined respective to each other. The paper uses data and researchers' experiences from an action research project seeking to support collective action among coastal communities affected by environmental changes in Kenya and Mozambique.en_US
dc.description.abstractÀ medida que os cientistas da sustentabilidade defendem cada vez mais a relevância das abordagens processo-relacionais para compreender fenômenos socioecológicos, torna-se necessário investigar quais métodos seriam adequados para uma abordagem processual-relacional.Este artigo discute como uma abordagem relacional-processual pode ser aplicada aos métodos tradicionais de pesquisa qualitativa, nomeadamente entrevistas e codificação, e as tensões associadas a eles. As perspectivas de processo-relacionais partilham similaridades com abordagens interpretativas, mas também apresentam características específicas, como a importância dos aspectos materiais e a compreensão do fenômeno como um momento no qual diferentes elementos se definem em relação uns aos outros.O artigo utiliza dados e experiências de pesquisadores de um projeto de investigação-ação que busca apoiar a ação coletiva entre comunidades costeiras afetadas por mudanças ambientais no Quênia e em Moçambique.en_US
