Abstract

This article presents a reflection and an epistemological proposal for the research of collective subjects and social movements. The work proposes a journey from questions of ontology, critical epistemology, towards the construction of methodological views for the study of social subjects. The article advances in a proposal centered at the same time in the notion of collective subjectivity that tries to contribute to the overcoming of difficulties presented in the paradigms for social movements research, powering the possibilities of a rigorous treatment of the topic, that with enough plasticity can give account of its complexity in the contemporary world and in Latin America in particular.

Key words: epistemology, subjects and social movements, social research methodology.
