Abstract
Can a research be written in an ongoing and processual state? How can a doctoral thesis be approached from an ontology of becoming? In this chapter I will share my experience as an ethnographic researcher while I was writing my thesis. Mainly based on Deleuze and Guattari ontology of becoming, I will explain how I understood my PhD, how it affected both its writing processes and the public presentation I made, and what potentialities and risks you may face. When you are not researcher but becoming-researcher, you understand the processes, the times, spaces and materials differently. They are all reconfiguring all the time. When you start writing, you have no idea how that thesis is going to end. While you are writing, you are taking decisions. Thesis gets its own life in its writing. This means that your thesis will be written in an open, creative and experimental way, and this cannot always be understood or welcomed by other researchers.
