Abstract

This papers retakes the practices of “Multisectorial Defendamos Alberdi” of Córdoba city and the “Asamblea de Vecinos del Chavascate” of Sierras Chicas, Córdoba province (Argentina), as social movements that fight and resist from particular events against the “real estate speculation” and Government policies around the idea of “development” and “progress” in defense of commongoods, and the increasing popular participation in decision-making processes, about the transformations that occur in their territories. Our interest is focused on making a critical reflection about relationships between space-power and the communication in these social movements from research and extension course in which qualitative and participatory methodological strategies were carried out.
