BRANQUINH, Fátima Teresa Braga  e  LACERDA, Fátima Kzam Damaceno de. The contribution of the actor-network theory to research in education. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.3, pp.49-67. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v25i3.9739.

This article seeks to discuss, in the light of actor-network theory - the theoretical-methodological 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.

Palavras-chave : Sociotechnical Network; Deserarchization of Knowledge; Anthropology of Sciences and Techniques; Social, Nonhuman.
