Travelling thought sets out on a journey as a research experience. It begins by developing the idea with a view to research, an idea that becomes condensed as an epistemic concept to the extent that it imagines it as an object to be understood via the design of a research project. With sociology and anthropology as companions on the inquisitive journey, he psychoanalyses the observer and the observed in order not to destroy the data, and proposes multidisciplinary support. When he opens the theory to the practice of expository realisation, the travelling thought acquires the face of poetic, creative thought. When walking with itself in order to explain itself and the world, it has to clarify the subject, to specify the problem to be investigated and its demand for a conceptual solution. This is guaranteed if he constructs well (ethics) the paradigmatic model and gives an account of it in the making of the way (method) with rigorous argument. The various narratives involve different literary genres: the slow inquiry (analysis) is followed by the quick demonstrative conclusion (understanding). In short, the research project is thought of as a problem of explanation and is placed before the researcher to guide his scientific action.
