La Revista Latinoamericana de Metodología de la Investigación Social (ReLMIS) busca constituirse como un espacio de discusión e interrogación desde una mirada latinoamericana, sobre el conjunto de conocimientos que permita elaborar y tomar decisiones adecuadas respecto a cómo articular el dominio objetual o fenómenos a estudiar, los procedimientos para su indagación, el cuerpo teórico seleccionado como mediación para la observación, y los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las prácticas de investigación social. Esta Revista pretende contribuir en esa dirección, presentándose como un espacio para la publicación de experiencias de trabajo de investigadoras e investigadores de las Ciencias Sociales. Como tal, se propone favorecer formas de conocimiento y de relación entre equipos de investigación y docencia en el área temática, así como generar espacios para compartir experiencias emergentes en el campo de la metodología de la investigación social. En síntesis, la apuesta de poner en común las producciones tiene una doble finalidad: hacer más comprensible el mundo social desde las múltiples miradas referidas, y contribuir con procesos de emancipación construidos colectivamente, mediante prácticas de transferencia de los modos de indagación y de extensión a las comunidades de referencia. Presentamos a continuación los principales ejes temáticos para la presentación de artículos y/o reseñas que, de aquí en más, queda como convocatoria abierta de ReLMIS para todos aquellos interesados en el área: A continuación, se presentan los principales ejes temáticos previstos para la recepción de contribuciones, sea bajo la forma de artículos y/o reseñas de publicaciones. I. Relación y evaluación de la relación entre teoría, fenómeno, procedimientos y objetos: La toma de decisión metodológica es una práctica donde conviven teorías, fenómenos, procedimientos y objetos de la experiencia investigativa. Muchas veces esta convivencia en la configuración de la estrategia metodológica supone dislocamiento(s) de los procesos interpretativos y de intervención. Por lo anterior, este eje se propone indagar las formas de materialización de las prácticas investigadas, los constructos teóricos, las representaciones y ethos tecnológicos que entran en tensión y traman la investigación en Ciencias Sociales en América Latina. II. Geo-política de la(s) Metodología(s) de la Investigación en América Latina: Este eje retoma los debates sobre las distintas formas de hacer investigación social
