Descripción
Sumario:This  article  begins  with  an  understanding  of   social  networks  as  an  epistemological  and  theoretical  position  that  invites  re-flection on the subjectivity of  enhancing twinning. Specifically, the  authors  introduce  Medellín’s  Network  of   Community  Or-ganizations,  which  emerges  in  the  context  of   economic  glo-balization and the onset of  various types of  violence in urban areas. This network is formed as a counter-hegemonic power and an emancipatory practice on the basis of  the formation of  politically critical subjects who mobilize and communicate in a different way within the struggle’s framework for a decent life as a principle and order of  action. This approach is formulated on the basis of  social network theories, political theory and the systematization of  experiences.
