Our aim is to develop and propose a method for ANTi-historians, using analysis of controversy as thestarting point. Despite the theoretical and methodological development of the ANTi-history approach to the study of knowledge of the past and the creation of its history, there is room for method development based on controversy analysis. We ground our proposal in some of ANTi-history's assumptions (relationalism, the symmetry principle, and multiplicity) and practical concepts (translation and politics of actor-networks). In addition, we recommend four criteria that researchers should use in choosing a controversy to serve as a starting point for investigation. Finally, we present five steps for investigating knowledge of the past and the creation of history. ; Nuestro objetivo es construir una propuesta de método para antihistoriadores, tomando el análisis de la controversia como el punto de partida. A pesar del desarrollo teórico y metodológico del enfoque ANTi-History para el estudio del conocimiento del pasado y la creación de su historia, hay espacio para el desarrollo de un método basado en el análisis de controversias. Basamos nuestra propuesta en algunosde los supuestos de la ANTi-History (relacionalismo, principio de simetría y multiplicidad) y conceptosprácticos (traducción y política de redes de actores). Además, recomendamos cuatro criterios que losinvestigadores deben usar para elegir una controversia que sirva como punto de partida para la investigación. Finalmente, presentamos cinco pasos para poner en práctica la investigación del conocimiento del pasado y la creación de la historia. ; Nosso objetivo é construir uma proposta de método para os ANTi-historiadores, tomando a análise dacontrovérsia como ponto de partida.

Por fim, apresentamos cinco etapas para colocar em ação a investigação do conhecimento do passado e a criação da história.

Drawing on Actor-Network Theory and the cartography of controversies, we present a method for ANTi-History research to investigate the implementation of a contract between a labour services company and a public university hospital in Brazil. The research question focuses on how the past is enacted in the present. The method is a general guideline based on five focal points used to organize the fieldwork: identifying controversies; mapping the actor-network; drawing out the translation process; politics of actor-networks and multiple reality/power relations. The proposed method makes two contributions to ANTi-History literature. First, although these focal points have been discussed by ANTi-History scholars, they are scattered throughout the literature. We unite them to offer a guide to doing historically embedded research. Second, we show how controversy analysis can be helpful for mapping the politics of actor-networks and describing multiple realities in the construction of history.

"This concise book uses narrative fiction to address how researchers can conduct qualitative research using both online and first-hand data and digital and face-to-face methods. The book is structured around four phases of the research process - accessing management field research, writing the literature review, collecting and analysing data and enacting qualitative research and finally the creative process of writing qualitative research. Theory and practice are merged through a situation-based case study within each chapter, with the methods and tools employed in each context explored through narrative fiction. The protagonists of each case have specific questions, emotions and ambiguities that qualitative researchers need to face, offering a unique approach to the practice of qualitative research and how it is used in real-life situations. Founded on the idea of enacting and not just doing qualitative research, this book offers toolkits that the researcher can use to operationalize research from start to finish. It will be of interest to postgraduate students conducting research-based projects in Business and Management, PhD researchers and academics looking for a fresh approach"--
