A partir dos anos 1970, os métodos de pesquisa participativa sediada em comunidades ganharam pouco a pouco crédito no campo das pesquisas aplicadas, ocasionando mutações epistêmicas e éticas nas práticas de pesquisa com participantes humanos. Este artigo apoia-se sobre um exemplo de pesquisa "ecossistêmica" em saúde ambiental, conduzida em parceria entre pesquisadores universitários (Canadá e Brasil) e habitantes das margens de um rio da Amazônia brasileira, o Tapajós. Esse exemplo ilustra as tensões que afetam o quadro conceitual no qual são habitualmente colocadas as questões de ética da pesquisa com participantes humanos, principalmente os princípios cardeais retirados do relatório Belmont, e muito particularmente aqueles de beneficência e de justiça. Esse gênero de prática científica implica um desdobramento da responsabilidade dos pesquisadores, entre a pesquisa e a ação.Downloads
