RODRIGUES, Luciana  y  GUARESCHI, Neuza Maria de Fátima. Public Policy Research: An Investigative Policy from the Notions of Network and Performance. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.spe, pp.1294-1312. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.63941.

This article aims to share the experience of proposing a research policy in public policies, constituted in the field of Social Psychology, from the theoretical-methodological contributions of Actor-Network Theory and Studies of Science, Technology and Society. Faced with the expressive number of academic productions on public policy affiliated with Foucaultian studies on biopolitics, this work seeks to contribute to the affirmation of the potency of another research path that allows us to question and make visible different issues in relation to the field of biopolitics studies. To discuss this investigative policy we use the contributions of a research that sought to understand how the bond is enact as an object of the National Social Assistance Policy, using the notions of enact, by Annemarie Mol and network, by Bruno Latour, as operators. In this process, we highlight the changes that promoted displacements of our place as researchers and, therefore, in our way of producing research and analysis in the field of public policies. Finally, we highlight how this investigative policy shows the performative character of the network of practices that produce objects that come into existence in National Social Assistance Policy.
