This article focuses on the data analysis phase in qualitative research. After locating the investigative moment in which the hermeneutical act takes place, different strategies are presented to approach the data analysis. The paper focuses on the proposal of analytical questions. Based on the texts of Jackson and Mazzei, the assembly of data and theories is described in three movements: first, the disruption of binomials like theory / practice, subject / object, inside / outside, researched / researcher, to understand the way they constitute each other; second, the elaboration of analytical questions based on authors’ concepts to think about the data; and third, evince the flexibility of both when being stressed to reveal socio-cultural processes of interest and generate new knowledge.

Keywords : Qualitative research; data analysis; analytical questions.
