The aim is to place the epistemic practices that take place in the processes of innovation and appropriation in MCC, in order to meet epistemic communities and the actors involved in innovative processes of the cooperative. This work is constituted by four sections. In the first section, methodology and epistemological pluralism proposal to understand the practices from a community and dialogic approach is discussed; in the second section sociocultural innovation networks from the proposal of the Mexican philosopher León Olivé are described.
