Trilogía Ciencia Tecnología Sociedad, 2016

In this paper the sociocultural innovation networks Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (MCC) are analyzed from the perspective of the Social Appropriation of Science, Technology and Innovation (SASTI). The aim is to place the epistemic practices that take place in the processes of innovation and appropriation in MCC, in order to meet epistemic communities and the actors involved in innovative processes of the cooperative. This work is constituted by four sections. In the first section, methodology and epistemological pluralism proposal to understand the practices from a community and dialogic approach is discussed; in the second section sociocultural innovation networks from the proposal of the Mexican philosopher León Olivé are described.

Social laboratories, defined as experimental spaces for co-creation, have currently become the main centres of innovation. Medialabs are experimental laboratories of technologies and communication media which have co-evolved along with the digital society into becoming mediation laboratories of citizen experimentation, observing a confluence of both models. In the last years, these centres have expanded within the higher education context, generating new forms of innovation and posing the issue on how to measure the impact of such open spaces. This paper analyzes the origin and development of social laboratories in Spain. It first reviews their historical development since its antecedents in the 19th Century until the most recent initiatives. It focuses specifically on initiatives launched within the university context, highlighting their role as motors of innovation. Then, it presents the case of Medialab UGR, a co-creation and digital culture centre of social collaboration framed ...

SEMIÓTICA DE LA INNOVACIÓN SOCIAL ESTUDIO A PARTIR DEL SECTOR CULTURAL, 2019

Para los países en desarrollo, la exportación de sus bienes y servicios culturales constituye una excelente forma de generar empleo y divisas. Fortaleciendo la identidad al enriquecerse en el enfrentamiento con otras culturas, es en el intercambio y la evidencia de la diversidad, donde la innovación social alcanza su verdadero significado. Estos intercambios tanto internamente como a las partes interesadas externa las comunidades, aumentan la pluralidad y tienen un efecto cuantificable en el capital cultural, ambiental y social. En esta transdisciplinariedad de saberes se diseñan proyectos dentro de un universo de sentido en el que las disciplinas son campos en diálogo e inclusión de otras acciones con nuevos fines. Por lo tanto las acciones de innovación social van más allá de la monetización del impacto social, en términos financieros, ya que de alguna manera se espera que a futuro se logre transformar el sentido. Aunque persisten visiones, convencionalismos perceptivos, así como también esquemas organizacionales obsoletos, también emergen soluciones innovadoras a retos globales urgentes.

Habitat Living Lab is a network of organizations that aims at developing and applying eco-friendly technologies with low income communities to improve their housing conditions. This article reports Habitat formation from an NGO followed by its interaction with the university. Maturation of the relations among the community, the NGO and the University led to the formalization of Habitat when it joined the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) in 2010. The Laboratory of Supporting Technologies for Collaborative Networks (LabTAR) was created for practice and reflection of network projects. Information and communication technologies (ICT) became relevant to promote interaction and innovation. Habitat’s path reveals that this model is feasible. The NGO’s work has already produced social innovation but the projects of technological innovation which began in 2010 are underway. Key elements for Habitat’s good results are: an organization truly committed to the development of the community...
