From the possible diversity of discourses on social events and processes, how would scientific research make the study of its senses possible without falling into subjectivist or economistic determinisms? In search of answering that question, this text is dedicated to the exploitation of conceptual resources of the Marxian-Engelsian tradition of thought, taking as an axis its elaboration of the term ideology. This takes the form of a theoretical review study. In the end, it suggests that, recognizing the conjunctural nature of all meaning, on the one hand, and the social universality of the ideological phenomenon, on the other, social research should be kept attentive, simultaneously, to its expressions as discourse and practice.
