Abstract
This contribution addresses the question how the field of social entrepreneurship should go about in practicing research. Establishing a view of research as enactment, we follow Law’s (2004) suggestion to embrace the constitutive aspect of research and to probe novel forms of relating with and constructing our subject of inquiry. Three models of enactive research are presented, each based on three verbs which denote the contours of a dangerous research agenda of social entrepreneurship. That is, (a) critiquing approaches research through denaturalization, critical performativity and reflexivity; (b) inheriting through contextualizing, historicizing and connecting; and (c) intervening through participating, spatializing and minorization.
