The research field on the production of subjectivity faces the problem of building knowledge that involves researchers and the researched ones, with their unique territories and semiotics. Questions about the participants’ empowerment arise, as well as how to trace a common plan with them, in order to warrant the participative character of research. Within the context of the cartographic method, the present paper aims at dealing with the theme of common in a double aspect. Firstly, the access to the common plan is discussed. Based on Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, such plan is not homogeneous nor gathers actors who would keep amid each other identity relationships. Instead, it operates communication between singularities, being pre-individual and collective. Secondly, it points out that while intervention-research, cartography commits to create a common and heterogeneous world. The article points out that tracing the common has the transversality as a methodological guideline, and it examines the procedures of participation, inclusion and translation.
