Producción de conocimiento en conflictos socioambientales

Abstract

This work contributes to the discussion on the potential of-fered by socio-environmental conflicts to transform society-nature relationships. We start from the review of three modesof knowledge production (scientific, activist and local / com-munity) to discuss the way in which different actors and theirnetworks position themselves in conflicts. I argue that socio-environmental conflicts allow the emergence of networks withthese modes of production, which, in the dynamics of conflict,come into dispute, collaborate and mutually permeate eachother, and in this process they enable not only the productionof new knowledge but also the formation of new social cate-gories with material and symbolic effects on the managementof the territories and the environment.
