Experience, know-how, and the practical construction of collective social networks

Abstract

The article addresses the issues regarding the construction of networks by collective groups that can be included in the so-called new social movements. Initially, it deals with the notion of network, in order to adopt the idea of dynamic networks. It then shows an understanding of enactive knowledge or know-how from statements by Francisco Varela. The text also analyzes three different ways of social networks conformed by such groups in order to raise some conclusions about the novelty and ethical power of their practices and knowledge, as well as the types of thought they deploy and the reflection performed.
