Resumen

The purpose here is to argue about the process of the encounter that occurred on São Paulo’s asphalt street – the asphalt children and the asphalt academics. The roots of the main argument are centered in the sociological worldview and in the ethnomathematics posture, which were developed through a process of a PhD research project. The bringing together of marginal and non-marginal positions and voices results in and is an activist social practice. The aim of looking at this encounter is to feed the end of verbalism and the beginning of a situated knowledge that is engaged with our everyday lives, with our very being searching equity on research acts.
