Demonstramos neste trabalho a importância dos estudos sobre a epistemologia para problematização, desconstrução de preconceitos e contribuição na elaboração qualificada na produção de conhecimento científico. É apresentada a leitura epistemológica de uma pesquisa concluída com o título: “A adolescência inventada e os sujeitos que se inventam na participação social: capturas e rupturas” (CAMPOS, 2008), com base teórica em Sánchez Gamboa (2012, 2013).

We examine some approaches that have addressed this issue since the decade of 1970s, especially in the United States and Europe.
