ALVARADO, Sara Victoria; OSPINA-ALVARADO, María Camila  e  SANCHEZ-LEON, María Cristina. Hermeneutics and social research: Narratives that generate peace, democracy and reconciliation. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.987-999. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14207170215.

The relevance of research methods implies the inquiry about their limits and possibilities for understanding and transforming social phenomena. Ontological political hermeneutics aims to comprehend meanings that are subject to continuous change, and at the same time transform social realities with others based on subjective and identity-based experiences. This article focuses on the link between ontological political hermeneutics and social constructionism: in the first instance, the authors detail how ontological political hermeneutics, in addition to providing an epistemological model for social research, acts as a political contribution to the comprehension and transformation of social processes; secondly, this article will show a link between social constructionism and the hermeneutical attitude that is located within this model of understanding. Finally, the authors apply the methodological link between ontological political hermeneutics and social constructionism in the field of social research with children living in armed conflict contexts.

Palavras-chave : Methodology; social research; childhood; Ontological political hermeneutics; social constructionism; narratives.
