ABSTRACT
To me It is interesting to point out the political use of the methodology, qualitative and quantitative, to discuss the form that this practice acquires. It is important to call into question this policy that subjects the word of the aspiring researcher by requiring him to abandon the subjective for the objective (quantitative methodology) or submit the subjectivity to a theoretical-Orthodox regime to narrate intimations experiences through research (qualitative methodology). Both methodologies claim to know and because of that they subject the view and the writing in favor of a "scientific" speech. I suggest that there is a relationship between researcher and method that subdue any interpretation from which derives a political use of methodology that can be framed as fetishism, understood as any affective relationship, of trust and submission as the only way to understand the world. The term "fetish" which was originally used in the field of the economy, move to the field of the clinic to describe the objective libidinal consumption always linked to the unconscious. In this way the method mediates pleasure when the subject is in front of the object of research even represent surrender, distance and emotional security, smoothing all bias of abnormality, from there the importance to question scientific education and it is effects.REFERENCES
