This article seeks to discuss, in the light of actor-network theory - the theoreticalmethodological option of the field of anthropology of sciences and techniques based on the ethnography of objects - the limits and possibilities of research, especially in education. To this end, six key notions are presented that guide the conduct of investigations in a more democratic way, evidencing in this way the indissociability between epistemological choice and political choice. It is considered that the procedures discussed here can also bring significant contributions in the sense of redrawing the boundaries between human and nonhuman and of undoing as absolute dichotomies such as nature/society, scientific knowledge/popular knowledge, science/art.Downloads
