Abstract(s)
Este artigo analisa estratégias metodológicas qualitativas aplicáveis a contextos de conflito e pós-conflito, com foco na Etiópia e na Libéria. Ambos os países passaram por transformações profundas após períodos de violência prolongada, sendo contextos particularmente valiosos para a investigação de tipo qualitativa. Entre o leque de técnicas analisadas, destacam-se a investigação etnográfica, as entrevistas semiestruturadas, focus groups, a pesquisa participativa e a observação participante no trabalho de campo. A integração dessas técnicas permitiu captar as nuances das dinâmicas sociais, das narrativas coletivas e das experiências de grupos minoritários ou em situação de exclusão e vulnerabilidade em sociedades pós- -conflito. Ao oferecer essas perspetivas, o artigo contribui para aprofundar a compreensão dos desafios enfrentados e aponta caminhos que podem orientar intervenções de reconstrução da paz nesses dois países.
The article explores qualitative methodological strategies with applicability in conflict- and postconflict societies, focusing on perspectives from Ethiopia and Liberia. Both countries have undergone profound transformations following periods of violent conflict, offering valuable contexts for qualitative research. The article analyzes a plurality of techniques, including ethnographic research comprising the following fieldwork activities: semi-structured interviews, focus group interviewing, participatory research and participant observation. Consequently, the studies’ findings contributed to an understanding of the nuances of social dynamics, narratives, and the experiences of minority actors or those in more marginalized and/or vulnerable situations in post-conflict societies. The article offers valuable perspectives that can influence interventions for peacebuilding in Ethiopia and Liberia.
