Hacia una Descripción Densa desde la Cartografía Social

This article aims to present the possibility of generating a dense description from research based on social mapping. The writing uses several concepts formulated a few years ago by author Clifford Geertz who, from the academic rigor of Ethnography, raises the possibility of developing in-depth studies on the interpretation of cultures. This brief refers to some arguments that are considered relevant to the exercise of social cartography; one of them is the need to abandon the vision of confining to social cartography, to the issue of the delimitation of the research problem; on the other hand present the possibility that this information collection strategy will be assumed as a research methodology and finally show that, through the same mapping exercise, it is possible to generate a saturation of data that is constituted in the end as findings of the research. In conclusion, it is stated that it is possible to generate an exercise of dense description, which in one way or another indicates a contribution to the fact that social mapping is constituted with certainty, in a research methodology.
