Ecology of knowledge, Socioecological systems, Sustainability, Dialogical interactions, Cognitive exclusionAbstract
There is hegemony in the production of knowledge, associated with the concentration of power and cognitive exclusion, restricting the dialogue with marginalized knowledge that can be fundamental for sustainability in the requisite local-global reconnection. To break from this context, we believe that ecology of knowledge, reflection, and self-organization can be promoted through participatory research, whereby we analyze three distinct experiences to identify interdisciplinary and intersectoral interactions, as well as a dialogue among different social actors at distinct organizational levels. We thus argue that the nature of participatory and dialogical processes enables democratization of knowledge, engagement and diversity of solutions compatible with the challenges of sustainability.
