Summary, in English

The essay argues that between the world we aim to study and the realities we describe there is no straight, neutral relation. Instead, through our scientific practices we simplify that world as well as contribute to shape it. Methods are not mere procedures to mirror the world; rather, methods mediate between the world and our descriptions of it, and in the process they contribute to both simplify and produce the reality thus described. In this light, research becomes a continuous process of simplifying the world and crafting reality.
This has strong political consequences. For, what realities should we contribute to strengthen and what to weaken? And, what requirements are to be put on method mediations if we want to work for more just, equal and freer societies? One answer to these questions is found in a scholarship of engagement.
