O baú do desassossego: da crítica à filosofia do dado à condição crítica dos dados de pesquisa social

It is a social research in the context of open science, based on the analysis and understanding of the use and reuse of research data in the Humanities and Social Sciences scenario. On the one hand, under the discourse of open access to research data, it is evident in the scientific experience in these large areas the enormous source of data for reuse, based on the most different contexts and singularities; on the other hand, a vast set of ethical dilemmas regarding its use and sharing are identified. Based on the book's metaphor of Fernando Pessoa's Book of Disquiet and the understanding that these data can be reused and reinterpreted in the light of different notions and perspectives, the theoretical approach of the research follows the hermeneutic reflection of Jonathan Furner to understand the concept of data and its epistemological position in Library and Information Science (LIS). The research is the result of investigations developed in the context of symbolic experiences in book fairs in the city of Rio de Janeiro, where, through empirical incursions with contributions of the ethnographic method, we sought to understand socio-technical mediations and the symbolic layers of production, appropriation and circulation of knowledge. Based on the data generated by the research, collected from face-to-face interviews, direct observation and photographs, the research was guided by the innumerable possibilities of reuse of data from the collection processes in social research in the context of open science, questions: when, how and where (re)use them? Thus, the central objective of the present study was to verify the possibilities of use and reuse of data from social research. Specifically, a view has been proposed under these conditions in the light of open science and open research data, contemplating the ways in which the data generated in the collection steps, such as transcripts of interviews, photographs and field notes, can be reused and the ethical dilemmas that surround their reuse. As a methodology, the research, with a qualitative approach and exploratory nature, involved two main stages: empirical incursions in book fairs in the city of Rio de Janeiro, namely the Cinelândia Fair in 2015 and the Festa Literaria in 2016; and from the data generated by the collection processes, theoretical reflections in the context of open science, through the dialogue between the hermeneutic perspectives proposed by Furner on the concept of data and the ethical dilemmas about its reuse and sharing. As a result, it was understood that the data from the initial stages of research can be understood beyond its design as supplementary documents or support techniques, but rather testimonies of the research processes that, if shared, are sources of research for other studies, allowing multiple glances on these same data. It concludes that the decontextualized opening and the lack of understanding of the margins and the problems of the primary interpretation, the modes of production and the initial evaluation of the data, demarcate questions to the ethical dilemmas in its reuse, being able to greatly broaden the social problems underlying its production and its use.
