A emergência da produção de novidades em territórios “marginalizados”: uma análise a partir do território Alto Camaquã, Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

This article examines the ‘novelty production’ at Alto Camaquã territory, located in Southern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Novelty production approach has been constituted as a framework for thinking innovation and knowledge related to rural development processes. This paper seeks to highlight the differential responses that social actors are able to create as resistance, and also as an opposition to dominant socio-technical and scientific regime. Within a context of recovery and combination of local resources and assets, we show that the emergence of innovative processes results from dialogue between different knowledge (scientific and tacit) and depends on interaction between different actors (humans and non-humans). These latter are intertwined in socio-technical networks, established against the prevalent socio-technical regime, and for challenging the modernizing narrative of development.
