Research and event: the touch in the not thinking one

In this work it is attempted to ‘open a window’ and reflect upon the association of research with the concept of event, taking into account some considerations by Foucault (1992) and Deleuze (1999). It is sought to approach some important aspects, such as, the relationship researcher-object, the notion of History, the time revolutions and how the propagation of what is studied occurs in our society and in our own lives. It is also attempted to have a hand-to-hand fight with the ‘virtual dust’ that the digging, turning over and researching impose to researchers, when developing their thoughts based on the notion of event. According to Foucault, turning the research into an event, is an analytical procedure of production of knowledge, together with a theoretical-political position of denaturalization that considers research as a way to take part in the causal demultiplication. Therefore, it is intended to set up an analysis position, that is, to bring into perspective the singularities of event, patrolling it day and night, with the purpose of penetrating its own flesh, in order to break the evidences that can be revealed to us.
