As configurações subjetivas do câncer: um estudo de casos em uma perspectiva construtivo-interpretativa

This paper is oriented to the study of cancer subjective configurations based on the understanding of subjectivity from a historical-cultural standpoint. The research was carried out through the case study of women who had different types of cancer. It was used a constructive-interpretative methodological approach based on the qualitative epistemology. Two cases by which the author attempts to demonstrate how the construction of information is done under this qualitative research orientation are discussed in the paper. The construction of information is oriented by the hypotheses the researcher arose based on the indicators of the research process. When different indicators converge in regard to one hypothesis, it becomes a theoretical construction concerning the studied topic. This theoretical construction brings into light possible subjective senses and configurations related to the experience of living with cancer.

Cancer subjective configurations: a case study in a constructive-interpretative approach

This paper is oriented to the study of cancer subjective configurations based on the understanding of subjectivity from a historical-cultural standpoint.
