Abstract

This text is proposed as a contribution to the understanding of the contexts, relationships, and practices, which involve creating knowledge from the world of the lives of subjects in their specific conditions, by seeking that scholars and academies are able to face the reality of most vulnerable rural and urban communities. This reality is based on the consolidation of an ethical, critical, and mystical attitude of the subject, who energizes participatory action research, which is inspired by the postulates of the Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda and the legacy built from the basic processes, on an epistemic route for social transformation. This thoughtful approach is made, in a little more than 50 years of intellectual production of the master, as a political-academic motif between sociological theory and social practice.
