Abstract
This study investigated the career of two people from different generations to analyze the time-space relationship and its longitudinal transformations, and the objective and subjective dynamics existing between subject and context. We used the historical construction of the occupation and the concept of career to support the research. As a research method we use life story. The results show the changes that have taken place in careers at an individual level through the reinterpretations of the interviewees and at a structural and contextual level through the reconfigurations of the actors present in the field. It was also possible, from the perspective of time, to identify antecedent, distinct, present, and common elements of the subjects involved, and signs of changes in the field of this career. In addition to investigating the occupation of batuque, this work presents the differences arising from time and space, in the context, institutions, groups, and individuals, from the visualization of the careers of two people of different generations.
