PEDRO, Rosa Maria Leite Ribeiro  and  MOREIRA, Mariana de Castro. From the promising misunderstanding to the multiplication of voices: a mapping civil society organizations. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.spe, pp. 1398-1412. ISSN 1808-4281.

This paper focuses on searching some of the strategies used in knowledge production based on the challenges and opportunities created by the Actor-Network Theory (ART) in the area of psychology research. As a starter, we have used a survey conducted by us, in which we cast a special look at the field of social projects such as the action territories that render materiality to the so-called Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). Two aspects have proved to be quite rich: the idea of the Promising Misunderstanding (DESPRET, 1999) and the Mapping Controversies (Latour, 2005). We have concluded that the methodological an ontological power of these concepts that, on one hand, multiply voices and versions and on the other hand recognize provisionality, partiality and incompleteness of any updated diagnosis, it also compromises the researcher with what he/she "brings to exisencet" in the research.

Keywords : psychology; actor-network theory; mapping; controversies; civil society organizations.
