However, under the hegemony of positivistas sumptions in this Field of knowledge, only with the emergence of the "crisis" of social psychology in the 1960s the estrategies achieved greater legitimacy and visibility, inclusive in Latin America. Our objective in this textis, from a critical perspective of science and the Radical and Plural Democratic Theory, to reflect on democracy, as a form of society, as a condition of possibility for the production of narratives and participatory methodologies. This reflection is organized around two complementary axes: epistemological axis, conceiving knowledge as a social practice; and political axis, addressing the place of there searcher, in the relation with there searche dones, in the confrontation with relations of domination.
