Communication and information networks and configurations: Toward building an interpretative-analytical model for the study of knowledge in society

THE ARTICLE OFFERS AN INTERPRETIVE MODEL OF ANALYSIS FOR THE STUDY OF KNOWLEDGE, COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION WITHIN THOSE SOCIAL MOVEMENT NETWORKS MODELED AFTER THE POPULAR HEALTH EDUCATION PARADIGM. THE MODEL DEPARTS FROM THE SPATIALITY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE AGENTS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE SOCIAL LINK AND MODALITIES OF COMMUNICATION AND IN FORMATION TRANSFERENCE THAT EXISTS BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL, GROUPS AND ENTITIES THAT CONSTITUTE NETWORKS. ON ANOTHER TACK, THE STUDY EXAMINES NETWORKS OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE TEXTURES THAT ARE FORMED IN THE CONFRONTATIONS AND ALLIANCES BETWEEN LANGUAGES, DISCOURSES AND WORLD-VIEW OF THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AGENTS OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS. BASIC CONCEPTS THAT LAY THE FOUNDATION OF THE MODEL AND ITS OPERATIVE METHODOLOGY ARE ALSO DISCUSSED.
