Through the review of literature on research methodology, we observed the general lack of approaches about the process of opening the research field. Recovering our own process, we bring contributions here on the approach to a subject of research, social actors in interaction (and young researchers) and procedures that we (re) make, use, and discard, in order to ensure the viability and effectiveness of the research, to find the theme-field research, "live" with it and "say goodbye". We discuss the contributions of poststructuralist perspective, constructionist and ethnographic on the process of knowledge construction which have in common the rejection of the transcendental position of subject and object and adopting a posture desreificante, denaturing and desessencializadora about the truth. The contribution of the article indicates the necessary theoretical reflection on the methodological procedures in line with the specificities of social actors investigated.
