Based on the Michel Foucault's studies about the ascesis as an ethical exercise and the paraskeué as an instrument of this exercise, the possible relations of these theoretical elements with the methodological strategies proposed by the research's intervention and the photographic intervention were traced. The theoretical thinking of this study suggests that these strategies are possibility conditions for the research's process be constituted as an ethical exercise. The theoretical references are based on the book "The Hermeneutics of the Subject" by Michel Foucault and articles about the intervention research and photographic intervention, designating this methodology as an "instrument" of the research's ascesis.
