Abstract

This minimal story is an invitation to think about prepositions, even though they are invariant words. The use of one or the other demarcates and determines not only the meaning of what is said, but also, and above all, the place it occupies in the relationship of dependence that defines between two or more parties. It is argued that its use and dominance is a political question. It analyzes the constructions "investigate to" and "investigate about", typical of extrativist, anti-democratic and dehumanizing research. Other constructions are claimed, such as "investigate with", "investigate together with" and "investigate for" to guarantee the cognitive justice that comes from fighting for the "unprecedentedly viable" (Freire, 1993).
