Quem tem medo de ontologia? Graham Harman e o realismo ontológico na teoria social

Abstract

The concept of Ontology has several outlines in the philosophical universe, whether in the analytical or continental tradition, but when we enter the Social Sciences field it is reduced basically to a phenomenological approach. This article aims to understand this phenomenological trait in the Social Sciences, in addition to pointing to other paths on the horizon, mainly using Graham Harman's Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), as well as other authors of this contemporary tradition. Although famous in the philosophical field, it is still very unknown in Social Theory, which opens a new space for debates, questions, and many new articulations.
