The article explores the cartography method and the writings of Hannah Arendt on action, politics and education. Based on the articulation between these two universes, the authors aim to build the following positions for a field research in the sphere of education: the researcher’s implication in the research process, recognizing themselves as part of the process and breaking with their alleged neutrality; acceptance of unpredictability during the development of the research; and, finally, the political commitment to the collective with which the researcher works and to the world we, researcher and participants, inhabit. Furthermore, the study presents questions about the relationship of one of the authors, as a researcher, with her research field, taking into consideration her experience as a producer of thoughts about the methodological challenges faced by works grounded on cartography.
