An intersectoral and constructivist proposal for habitat production

Abstract

The article presents epistemic reflections, in the field of habitat production, that the authors have been carrying out for more than a decade, on experiences within the framework of action research projects financed by the Science and Technology sector of Argentina. It expresses critical results for the present by way of provocation and with the expectation of proposing a change. The selection of research topics, in general, is based on frontiers of knowledge not necessarily involved with the national reality. Therefore, an enabling scenario is promoted for research that illuminates the resolution of problems inherent in our context, based on the co-construction of knowledge, from an existing cognitive and organizational eco-system that can be redirected. Finally, an intersectoral political-ideological proposal is exposed, based on the articulation of actors from production, education, politics and technoscience within the framework of a federal network for the associative and cooperative production of habitat.
