GHISO, Alfredo  and  TABARES-OCHOA, Catalina María. Dialogic reflexivity in the study of youth and political practices. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.1, pp.129-140. ISSN 1692-715X.

Qualitative methods have focused, traditionally, on the practices of subjects, describing their experiences, expressions and discourses. However, it is necessary to innovate methodologies that address the senses and meanings that subjects give to their own experiences, to achieve reflection in the investigative process and enhance those practices. Dialogic reflexivity, understood as the ability of individuals to question what was said, done and thought, represents a methodological approach that allows to tackle memories, practices and discourses in their multiple forms of expression. The knowledge gained through dialogic methodological tools such as participant observation, workshops, interviews and focus groups, enables the subject to know its unveiling and self-recognition in the research process.

Keywords : Dialogic reflexivity; Qualitative methods; youth; political practices; discourses.
