Abstract Which society do we talk about when thinking on Organizations & Society? We speak of the society recognized by the researcher as a plural, heterogeneous, and enigmatic context. Each society and organization at each historical moment encourages us to renew our ways of knowing and theorizing about it. The work of theorizing is very demanding, especially in our national context, because of our tradition of not training masters and doctors focused on facing the task and the effort of theorizing. This theorizing weakness highlights not only our problems and challenges as researchers, it also reflects on our educational practice, especially the practice of graduate schools.
