Abstract

PEYLOUBET, Paula  and  CONICET. Institución CEA et al. Hacia una revisión epistémica de la producción científico-tecnológica en torno a procesos inclusivos de transformación social. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.11, pp.59-79. ISSN 1853-3655.

This paper examines the cognitive basis from which the State, and specifically its Science and Technology sector, approaches Social Housing problems restricting its perspective to a technologically deterministic point of view. The critical review of this form of knowledge production might not be taken as innovative by the sector to which this article is directed, but the revision of the epistemic matrix which sustains the construction of the problem itself has not been sufficiently considered. Therefore the authors of this paper, using an interdisciplinary approach, aim to reflect on the foundations and characteristics of a participatory epistemology which tends to produce inclusive outcomes of research.

Keywords : Alternative Model of knowledge Production; Social Production of Habitat; Social Technology.
