Researching with the Territory: Some Methodological Bets

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss research possibilities in the field of health regarding the concept of territory. The proposal is to investigate some questions that enable a certain research path whenever we think of a health territory. It articulates territory and methodology in order to think about them as technologies that, in addition to contributing to assessing and implementing policies, enable some trajectories and performances in health research. This paper is located in the field of Social Psychology and inspired by post-structuralist discussions and social science studies. The concept of territory may become a research tool whenever the research is based on the very processes of assessment and implementation suggested by the health policy, as well as whenever it becomes part of a research question. This happens whenever there is a migration from a technological dimension to the social field where a health-related event takes place, with focus on the singularity of the events.
