Biographical approach, trajectory, and narratives: notes on a possible debate between Pierre Bourdieu and Suely Kofes

Abstract

This article focuses on observing, thinking, and proposing a debate about the trajectory notion. For that two authors were elected from different academic and national courts, to investigate how the notion organizes itself and is embodied in its elaborations, namely: Pierre Bourdieu and Suely Kofes. The methodological approach for the implementation of this composition is eminently bibliographic, both in the works of authors and commentators. Still, draw up the junctions and disjunctions between them to understand how the trajectory of a concept consists methodologically to apply in social research subjects with a view to wider scopes. As concluding remarks are punctuated, some foundation on trajectory may be critical for building and further research.
