ABSTRACT: The study “Self genealogical writing: notes on experimentation in legal research” reflects upon the knowledge production in Law. Then, what students (re)think in the moment of producing their texts and the way they use methods, techniques, bibliography or how they integrate to the academic-institutional discussions are captured in the present text. For that matter, the guiding question of the study was: which are the contributions of auto-genealogy to the knowledge production in Law? The procedure created by Nietzsche leads us to the reflection on truth, the growth of the person that investigates and writes, in addition to the analysis of contradictions, multitude and powerful expressions that exist in personal experiences. For this purpose, we chose a literary genre between aesthetics and epistemology: the essay. Regarding the raised premises, we realised specific subordination phenomenon and subjectivity creation through legal research.
