Objective:

This reflection article discusses the praxis of community work of neighborhood-territorial insertion and its current tensions in the face of the persistence of logics of domination and the emergence of emancipatory practices.

Methodology:

The critical reflection and theoretical debate of the article go from concepts of domination and resistance, to the analysis of the decolonial and the Social-Other Work in an effort to weave connections between different categories of analysis for Social Work.

Results:

This reflection arises from a concrete praxis developed under the wing of the Center for Social Intervention and Research of the School of Social Work (CSIRSSW) of Universidad del Bío-Bío, Chile. The practices of resistance to the neoliberal-capitalist model find validity from an emancipatory ethical-political social work.

Conclusion:

Synergy between the recovery of popular knowledge and activist research as a commitment to the production of situated, historical and critical knowledge can exist in the academy.
