La Apropiación Social del Conocimiento y su articulación con la cultura científico-tecnológica desde la perspectiva epistemológica de León Olivé

León Olivé es considerado uno de los filósofos de la ciencia e investigadores contemporáneos más importantes de México e Iberoamérica. Su pensamiento se distingue por las aportaciones realizadas en ámbitos de investigación como: la epistemología y la filosofía de las ciencias, el análisis de las relaciones interculturales y el estudio de las relaciones entre ciencia, tecnología y sociedad. Recurrió al pluralismo como enfoque epistémico para examinar los contextos multiculturales latinoamericanos donde coexisten conocimientos científico-tecnológicos con conocimientos tradicionales; ello le permitió desarrollar una concepción novedosa de la innovación a través de las Redes Sociales de Innovación (RSI). Sustentado en estos argumentos el presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la articulación entre las categorías de Apropiación Social del Conocimiento (ASC) y cultura científico-tecnológica desde la perspectiva epistemológica pluralista de dicho autor. El análisis de documentos constituyó el método principal para la reconstrucción sintética del contenido objeto de estudio.

León Olivé is considered one of the most important contemporary philosophers of science and researchers in Mexico and Latin America. His epistemology is distinguished by the contributions made in research areas such as: epistemology and philosophy of science, the analysis of intercultural relations and the study of the relationship between science, technology and society. He resorted to pluralism as an epistemic approach to examine Latin American multicultural contexts, where scientific-technological knowledge coexists with traditional knowledge; this allowed him to develop a novel conception of innovation through Social Innovation Networks (SIN). Based on these arguments, the aim of this article is to analyze the articulation between the categories of Social Appropriation of Knowledge (ASC) and scientific-technological culture from a pluralist epistemological perspective. Document analysis constituted the main method for the synthetic reconstruction of the content under study.

Social innovation in health: strengthening Community Systems for Universal Health Coverage in rural areas.

BACKGROUND: In seeking the attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), there has been a renewed emphasis on the role of communities. This article focuses on social innovation and whether this concept holds promise to enhance equity in health services to achieve UHC and serve as a process to enhance community engagement, participation, and agency. METHODS: A cross-country case study methodology was adopted to analyze three social innovations in health in three low- and middle-income countries (LMICs): Philippines, Malawi, and Colombia. Qualitative methods were used in data collection, and a cross-case analysis was conducted with the aid of a simplified version of the conceptual framework on social innovation as proposed by Cajaiba-Santana. This framework proposes four dimensions of social innovation as a process at different levels of action: the actors responsible for the idea, the new idea, the role of the institutional environment, and the resultant changes in the health and social system. RESULTS: The study found that each of the three social innovation case studies was based on developing community capacities to achieve health through community co-learning, leadership, and accountability. The process was dependent on catalytic agents, creating a space for innovation within the institutional context. In so doing, these agents challenged the prevailing power dynamics by providing the communities with respect and the opportunity to participate equally in creating and implementing programs. In this way, communities were empowered; they were not simply participants but became active agents in conceptualizing, implementing, monitoring, and sustaining the social innovation initiatives. CONCLUSION: The study has illustrated how three creative social innovation approaches improved access and quality of health services for vulnerable rural populations and increased agency among the intervention communities. The processes facilitated empowerment, which in turn supported the sustained strengthening of the community system and the achievement of community goals in the domain of health and beyond.

Grassroots innovation for the pluriverse: evidence from Zapatismo and autonomous Zapatista education.

The social and environmental failure of successive Western development models imposed on the global South has led local communities to pursue alternatives to development. Such alternatives seek radical societal transformations that require the production of new knowledge, practices, technologies, and institutions that are effective to achieve more just and sustainable societies. We may think of such a production as innovation driven by social movements, organizations, collectives, indigenous peoples, and local communities. Innovation that is driven by such grassroots groups has been theorized in the academic literature as "grassroots innovation". However, research on alternatives to development has rarely examined innovation using grassroots innovation as an analytical framework. Here, we assess how grassroots innovation may contribute to building alternatives to development using Zapatismo in Chiapas (Mexico) as a case study. We focus on grassroots innovation in autonomous Zapatista education because this alternative to formal education plays a vital role in knowledge generation and the production of new social practices within Zapatista communities, which underpin the radical societal transformation being built by Zapatismo. We reviewed the academic literature on grassroots innovation as well as gray literature and audiovisual media on Zapatismo and autonomous Zapatista education. We also conducted ethnographic fieldwork in a Zapatista community and its school. We found innovative educational, pedagogical, and teaching-learning practices based on the (re)production of knowledge and learning, which are not limited to the classroom but linked to all the activities of Zapatistas. Our findings suggest that innovation self-realized by Zapatistas plays a key role on the everyday construction of Zapatismo. Therefore, we argue that a specific theoretical framework of grassroots innovation for the pluriverse, based on empirical work carried out in different alternatives to development, is an urgent task that will contribute to a better understanding of how such alternatives grassroots groups imagine, design, and build, particularly across the global South.

A social innovation model for equitable access to quality health services for rural populations: a case from Sumpaz, a rural district of Bogota, Colombia.

BACKGROUND: Despite efforts to extend Universal Health Coverage in Colombia, rural and remote populations still face significant challenges in accessing equitable health services. Social innovation has been growing in Colombia as a creative response to the country's social problems including access to healthcare. This paper presents the findings of a social innovation case study, which was implemented in the rural area of Sumapaz in  Colombia, with the purpose of holistically addressing the health needs of the local population and enhancing health service access. METHODS: A case study methodology was used to investigate and understand the process by which the Model of Integral Health Care for Rural Areas was developed and how the various strategies were defined and implemented. Qualitative methods were used in the data collection and all data was analysed using Farmer et al. staged framework on grassroots social innovation which includes growing the idea; implementing the idea; sustainability and diffusion. RESULTS: The social innovation model was designed as a co-learning process based on community participation. The model was implemented adopting a holistic health approach and considerate of the conditions of a rural context. As a result of this process, access to quality health services were enhanced for the vulnerable rural community. The model has also provided outcomes that transcend health and contribute to individual and community development in different areas eg. agriculture. CONCLUSION: The Model of Integral Health Care for Rural Areas is a social innovation in health that demonstrates how Universal Health Coverage can be achieved for vulnerable populations through a series of creative strategies which fill systemic voids in access and co-ordination of care, as well as in addresings upstream environmental factors responsible for ill-health.

Technology-Based Social Innovation: Smart City Inclusive System for Hearing Impairment and Visual Disability Citizens.

The multilayer technology integration of hardware and software will reduce the social inclusion gap and increase the support in case of an emergency for people with special needs at hearing and visual levels. This research shows a development based on Internet of Things to support people with visual disabilities (PwVD) for indoor and outdoor activities. The decision-making process is made at the operational, tactical, and strategic level, providing a safe place so people with visual and hearing special needs can make decisions, their families can make decisions, and the government authorities can make decisions in case of an emergency or even on a day-by-day basis. In the case of the authorities, the smart visualization of the data according to the information provided facilitates Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (CDRM) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The main findings are based on the need to develop mobile applications, dashboard and web applications that are responsive to people with visual or hearing disabilities, and the need to develop an infrastructure of communication systems assisted by batteries and clean energy, and independent of the current telecommunications system, to allow greater reliability.

Inovação e bricolagem sociais com intermediação após um desastre em Córrego d'Antas / Innovación y bricolaje sociales con intermediación después de un desastre en Córrego d'Antas / Social innovation, social bricolage, and brokerage after a disaster in Córrego d'Antas

Resumo Estudamos como uma comunidade brasileira respondeu a um desastre com várias inovações sociais (IS) propiciadas por bricolagem social e intermediação com stakeholders. O artigo busca explicar tais processos e sua inter-relação. A abordagem metodológica foi majoritariamente indutiva, utilizando entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas e análise documental, além da experiência do autor principal, que residiu na localidade antes, durante e após o desastre. Nossos resultados sugerem que este abalou o equilíbrio social da comunidade de diversas maneiras e desencadeou ondas subsequentes de IS ligadas a bricolagem social e intermediação, as quais se amenizaram parcialmente ao longo do tempo. A originalidade e o valor do artigo derivam do contexto único e negligenciado de recuperação pós-desastre em um país emergente e da aplicação de avanços na conceitualização da intermediação e de sua relação com a bricolagem social e a IS.

Resumen Estudiamos cómo una comunidad brasileña respondió a un desastre con varias innovaciones sociales (IS) propiciadas por el bricolaje social y la intermediación con stakeholders. El artículo busca explicar tales procesos y su interrelación. El enfoque metodológico fue principalmente inductivo, utilizando entrevistas abiertas y semiestructuradas y análisis documental, además de la experiencia del autor principal que residió en la localidad antes, durante y después del desastre. Nuestros resultados sugieren que dicho acontecimiento afectó el equilibrio social de la comunidad de diversas maneras y desencadenó oleadas subsiguientes de IS relacionadas con el bricolaje social y la intermediación que se atenuaron parcialmente con el tiempo. La originalidad y el valor del artículo derivan del contexto único y de abandono de recuperación posdesastre en un país emergente y de la aplicación de avances en la conceptualización de la intermediación y de su relación con el bricolaje social y la IS.

Abstract We studied how a Brazilian community responded to a disaster using social innovations (SI) developed based on social bricolage and brokerage with stakeholders. The paper seeks to explain these processes and their interrelation. The methodological approach was primarily inductive, using semi-structured and open-ended interviews, document analysis, and the residential experience of the senior author before, during, and after the disaster. Our results suggest that the disaster upset the social balance of the community in several ways and triggered waves of subsequent SI related to social bricolage and brokerage that faded somewhat over time. Originality and value of the paper derive both from the unique and neglected context of post-disaster recuperation in a developing country and from the application of advances in the conceptualization of brokerage and its relation to social bricolage and SI.

Universities and social innovation for global sustainable development as seen from the south.

Potential contributions of universities to social innovation are explored with special attention to Southern countries. The normative guide is the notion of Sustainable Human Development understood as stressing the agency of least-advantaged sectors. The main challenges stem from decreasing sustainability and increasing inequality. Their impacts are highly dependent on how the tension between economic growth and environmental protection is managed. Improving actual perspectives demands harnessing advanced knowledge to foster inclusive and frugal innovation. For this to occur, universities need to be main actors. The context in which they act is analyzed with reference to the National Systems of Innovation conceptualization. Possible evolutions of universities as agents of social innovation are discussed with the aid of the Multi-Level Perspective. The importance of the Southern experience of innovating in scarcity conditions is highlighted and illustrated with the specific experience of a Latin American university. The cooperation of universities with weak social actors in ways that involve advanced knowledge appears as a key theoretical issue and as a difficult practical problem for the effective engagement of universities in social innovation. The diverse issues that such engagement needs to integrate conform an ambitious research program, of which the paper aims at giving a first glimpse.

Los Disability Studies y el Acompañamiento a Estudiantes con Discapacidad en la Universidad Española / Disability Studies and Accompanying Students with Disabilities in Spanish University

RESUMEN: El artículo presenta una investigación centrada en los programas de acompañamiento a estudiantes con discapacidad a partir del giro conceptual de los Disability studies. El objetivo de la investigación ha sido buscar aquellos elementos clave que han configurado este cambio en el acceso de los estudiantes con discapacidad a la Universidad y de los programas de acompañamiento que se han creado. El análisis se ha centrado en tres categorías: evolución del número de estudiantes, innovaciones en la universidad y en personalización. La investigación concluye admitiendo que el cambio generalizado de la mirada sobre las personas con discapacidad ha supuesto que las universidades hayan normalizado la presencia de personas con discapacidad en los diferentes estudios. Los datos revelan la importancia de la consolidación de proyectos de apoyo para hacer posible su incorporación a las universidades. Pero los estudiantes con discapacidad todavía relatan el gran esfuerzo que deben realizar para cursar sus estudios, hecho que demuestra que todavía no se ha conseguido plenamente la igualdad de oportunidades. El horizonte se plantea con universidades tan accesibles como para ir reduciendo los apoyos específicos porque ya no sean necesarios.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a research focused on accompanying programs for students with disabilities based on the conceptual shift of Disability Studies. The objective of the research was to look for those key elements that have configured this change in the access to the University for students with disabilities and the accompanying programs that have been created. The analysis has focused on three categories: student evolution, university innovations, and personalization. The research concludes by admitting that the widespread change of gaze on people with disabilities has meant that universities have standardized the presence of people with disabilities in different studies. The data reveal the importance of consolidating support projects to make possible that people with disabilities join the university. However, students with disabilities still recount the great effort they must make to keep on their studies, demonstrating that equal opportunities have not yet been fully achieved. The horizon is raised with universities so accessible that allow to reduce specific supports because they are no longer needed.

Documentary research on social innovation in health in Latin America.

BACKGROUND: Identifying social innovation in health initiatives, promoting quality of life through them, and transforming current health conditions demand the knowledge, comprehension and appropriation of the theoretical and methodological developments of this concept. Academic developments in social innovation have mainly occurred in and been documented for English-speaking countries, although relevant experiences have been implemented in Latin America. In this article, we describe and analyze how social innovation in health is being approached and understood in this region. MAIN TEXT: To identify the theoretical and methodological developments of social innovation in health between 2013 and 2018, a scoping review with a mixed approach was carried out. Eighty texts in English, Spanish and Portuguese were selected for a process of reflexive analysis of intra and intertextual reading. The approaches identified in the studied initiatives were complementary. The most applied approaches were innovation in health, technological innovation in health and social innovation, each with twelve publications, and social innovation in health and ecohealth with ten and seven publications respectively. The approaches showed a general interest in reaching the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Alma Ata Declaration and the Ottawa Letter. CONCLUSIONS: The social innovation in health approach in Latin America adopts educational strategies, identifies risk factors, optimizes resources, promotes interculturality, participation, community empowerment, and enhances intersectorality and interdisciplinarity. As an approach, process, program or solution, social innovation in health is a conceptual category under construction. This research provides a baseline for other systematic reviews on the subject.

Integrated vector control of Chagas disease in Guatemala: a case of social innovation in health.

BACKGROUND: Improved access to health care and quality of services require integrated efforts and innovations, including community empowerment and participation in transformation processes. Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease that is generally controlled by insecticide spraying. To achieve community empowerment in a health program, actions for social innovations may include: community-based research, interdisciplinary and intersectoral participation, community perception of direct benefits and participation in health or environmental improvements. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the processes by which an interdisciplinary team, in collaboration with communities of Comapa, Guatemala, developed an effective solution to address the risk for Chagas disease. METHODS: A qualitative study involving interviews semi-structured and direct observation was conducted using a case study approach to describe and understand the community-based research and intervention process developed by researchers from the Laboratory of Applied Entomology and Parasitology of the Universidad de San Carlos of Guatemala (Laboratorio de Entomologia y Parasitologia Aplicada). Nine interviews were conducted with the investigators, innovators, members of the community in which the intervention had been implemented. NVivo software (version 12) was used for the emergent coding and analysis of the interviews. RESULTS: Processes of social transformation were evident within households, and the communities that transcended the mere improvement of walls and floors. New social dynamics that favored the household economy and conditions of hygiene and home care that positively impacted the health of the community. We describe how the integration of criteria of social innovation into a home improvement strategy for Chagas disease control, can generate processes of transformation in health by considering sociocultural conditions, encouraging dialogue between public health approaches and traditional practices. We identify and discuss processes for Social Innovations in Health and identify their potential in improving community health in Latin America. CONCLUSIONS: When social innovation criteria are included in a health control initiative, the community-based research and the interdisciplinary and intersectoral participation facilitate the implementation of the control strategy, the perceived benefits by the community and its empowerment to sustain and share the strategy. The case study provided understanding of the intersectoral and interdisciplinary dynamics in particular contexts, and documented the relevance of innovation criteria in health processes.

Finalmente, relaciona os debates sobre ação coletiva da sociedade civil, inovação social e ação pública, sob uma ótica pragmatista, propondo um enfoque analítico particular para compreensão dos processos de codefinição e codomínio de situações problemáticas em arenas públicas.

En este artículo se propone una nueva lectura teórica y analítica para entender los procesos de innovación social promovidos por los actores de la sociedad civil en la esfera pública, basándose en la sociología pragmática francesa. Parte de una discusión sobre el lugar actual de las iniciativas de la sociedad civil en la acción pública. A continuación, se hace una incursión en el debate sobre la participación de la sociedad civil en la esfera pública, para demonstrar que la sociología pragmática francesa puede producir una nueva comprensión de este proceso. Finalmente, se propone un marco analítico que busca relacionar los debates sobre la acción colectiva de la sociedad civil, la innovación social y la acción pública, desde una perspectiva pragmática. De esta forma, san destacados algunos supuestos analíticos que pueden enriquecer la comprensión del fenómeno y ayudar a entender mejor los procesos de co-definición y co-dominio de situaciones problemáticas en las arenas públicas.

This article proposes a new theoretical approach for the study of social innovation processes promoted by civil society actors in the public sphere, based on French pragmatic sociology. It begins with a discussion about the current place of civil society initiatives in public action. Debate about civil society involvement in the public sphere is then explored, showing to what extent the French pragmatic sociology can provide a new understanding of this process. Finally, an analytical perspective is proposed, which relates the discussions about collective action of civil society, social innovation and public action, presenting some assumptions that can help to better comprehend processes of co-definition and co-dominium of problematic situations in public arenas.
