A Quebec-French joint research on an ethical epistemology in a shared and negotiated interpretative space
This article proposes an analysis based on an observant participation within a Quebec-French research team linking researchers and trainers in social work who establish different relationships or approaches to the object of the research. The dynamic thus presented, from a meta-analytical perspective, presents itself as a special case of multi-referential joint research. It is the subject of debate between co-researchers and gives rise to convergences or compromises within the framework of a shared and negotiated interpretive space. The article allows to identify some approaches to ethical and political analyses in terms of the recognition of the other and their knowledge as well as in terms of the collective level of a social field studied. Thus, it contextualizes this research within the set of problems concerning the relationships between the academic research community on the one hand and that of social work of the other.
