Knowledge and Disputes Socialized in the Framework of the Latin American School of Habitat Selfmanagement of Selvihp

ABSTRACT

This article recovers as an object of analysis one of the constitutive devices of the SELVIHP (Latin American Secretariat of Housing and Popular Habitat) the Latin American School of Habitat Self-Management (ELAH). Specifically, it seeks to analyze ELAH in terms of a strategy promoted by the Secretariat for the meeting and production of knowledge and knowledge, and as a regional integration tactic between popular organizations and resistance built from a self-managed perspective of habitat production. Based on a qualitative approach methodology, we seek to reflect on the characteristics that the School imprints on the mobility of ideas and practices that are articulated between the socio-territorial movements that are members of the SELVIHP on a regional scale, the role that this device plays in the production of situated knowledge-within the SELVIHP strategy and as an articulation of its movements- and, in particular, the strategies used to sustain the space during the context of the COVID19 pandemic in terms of appropriation of the territory of virtuality.
