From the study of the articles submitted to the XII National Convention of Social Workers Researchers (XII ENPESS), held in 2010, we aim to identify if and how the post-modern influences have been expressed in Social Work, specifically in the production of knowledge of this occupational category. The post-modern thought, with its non-ontological aspect and the denial of the Modern Reason, goes against the progress achieved by the Social Work, which was acquired from its renovation movement that happened in the second half of the 20th century, after the proximity with the Marxist theory. And therefore, the post-modern theory conflicts with the Ethical and Political Professional Project of the Brazilian Social Work. After the analysis, we can claim that, even passed twenty years after the theoretical progress, the already demonstrated difficulty in materializing the critical-dialectical perspective in the professional practice, also can been noticed in the knowledge production of professors, researchers, professionals and students who have participated at one of the most important Social Work national event. Thus, we identify features and trends of the post-modernism in the knowledge production, where we could find fractured analysis of reality, limited to the empirical evidence, analysis focused on people's subjectivity and speech. It could also be seen through the so-called new social movements that focus on the change of everyday life, locally.
