The evidentiary paradigm for analysis of narratives¹

ABSTRACT

This article aims to present contributions from the evidentiary paradigm for the analysis of narratives in research in the field of Education. The evidentiary paradigm studied and used by the Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg, makes it possible to interpret the reality, sometimes opaque, in search of less showy characteristics, of clues that make it possible to decipher and understand it. However, it was found that there is a restricted use of the evidentiary paradigm in Brazil and for this reason, a question arose: what contributions does the evidentiary paradigm bring to the analysis of narratives and what elements to consider in search of clues? This research is of a theoretical nature and constitutes an excerpt of the doctoral thesis of the first author.
