Rethinking and subverting the social report is not just a provocative slogan: it is a critical urgency. This book is configured as a collective artifact that profoundly interrogates the discipline of Social Work, inviting us to dismantle the assumptions that have historically shaped the social report as a technical, neutral, and normalizing tool. Far from being a simple administrative document, the report is understood here as a device of power-knowledge, an institutionalized form of writing that produces truths, fabricates subjectivities, and organizes forms of intervention in society. The authors who compose this work—from genealogical, decolonial, feminist, and intersectional perspectives—propose a radically different reading: a situated rewriting that denaturalizes the given, challenges hegemonic narratives, and opens space for a more critical, just, and emancipatory professional practice. From disciplinary genealogy to disputes over meaning in judicial, educational, and territorial contexts, each chapter raises fundamental questions about the political and epistemic dimension of professional writing. This book doesn't offer recipes or close debates: it multiplies them. It is part of the tradition of critical thinking and projects itself toward a future of Social Work. It is an invitation to read, discuss, rewrite, and resist. Because transforming the social report is also transforming the world it helps to represent.
