The objective of this article is to present some reflections on the process of constitution of the researcher in human sciences, minted from a view anchored in the historical-cultural psychology, and in the dialogue with some of Bakhtin’s ideas and writings of some of his interlocutors. From these reflections arise the understanding that researching is a dialogical and ideological process, in which the research and the researcher are mutually constituted in the relation of authorship/alterity. We also comprehend that the production of knowledge is always a singular creation with collective contributions, and as the researcher signs the authorship of a research or text, he finds himself in a position of responding to the other and also of responsibility for what he has produced. Finally, we assert that the constitution of the researcher in human sciences has attributes peculiar to this field of knowledge, since his relation with the subjects and contexts researched is sustained by ethical, aesthetic and political choices.
