Etnografias em movimento: deslocar-se com as crianças pela cidade.

The article seeks to reflect on the methodological aspects of research conducted with children in cities. It elects ethnographies on the move as a motto, revealing the virtues and pitfalls when the focus of the research is on the circulation and displacement of children. It argues for some powerful research techniques for the case of itinerant research with children. In ethnographies on the move, participant observation and floating observation are considered complementary, as are the categories of looking/seeing and listening/hearing. Movement can be analyzed through a direct or indirect experience of the researcher. Representations expressed through drawings and photographs are useful for exploring children's movement. The methods analyzed here are not classified as mobile because they serve to collect data on movement only, but because they also allow for data collection on movement and apprehend mobilities in their various manifestations.
