Political experimentation of friendship in a community psychology experience in Sergipe

Abstract

The present article presents part of the experience of research-intervention that took place in a settlement in Sergipe. This research was based on the principles of Community Psychology and the notion of political experimentation of friendship, which guided the construction of a collective body with the residents, materialized in the figures of collective effort and the collective garden. The conversation circle was the tool used to gather the residents and from that unfold a horizontal and solidary relationship, in which everyone has a voice and a turn, based on the political conception of friendship, from Arendt and Espinosa, allowing an opening to the other in its radicality.
