Drawing on Actor-Network Theory and the cartography of controversies, we present a method for ANTi-History research to investigate the implementation of a contract between a labour services company and a public university hospital in Brazil. The research question focuses on how the past is enacted in the present. The method is a general guideline based on five focal points used to organize the fieldwork: identifying controversies; mapping the actor-network; drawing out the translation process; politics of actor-networks and multiple reality/power relations. The proposed method makes two contributions to ANTi-History literature. First, although these focal points have been discussed by ANTi-History scholars, they are scattered throughout the literature. We unite them to offer a guide to doing historically embedded research. Second, we show how controversy analysis can be helpful for mapping the politics of actor-networks and describing multiple realities in the construction of history.

借助Actor网络理论和有争议的地图，我们提出了ANTi历史研究的方法，以调查巴西一家劳务公司与一家公立大学医院之间的合同的执行情况。研究问题集中在过去如何实现现在。该方法是基于五个重点来组织野外工作的一般指南：识别争议；映射演员网络；制定翻译过程；演员网络政治和多种现实/权力关系。所提出的方法对ANTi历史文献有两个贡献。首先，尽管这些焦点已经由ANTi-History学者进行了讨论，但它们分散在整个文献中。我们联合他们为进行历史嵌入式研究提供指南。第二，
