Zusammenfassung:The applicability of social science has a series of implications, though known, they are not always fully taken into account. Through an experience that could be called "autonomous research", this article reflects on how the understanding of certain realities becomes the beginning of a process of questioning methodologies and scientific parameters, and their use outside Academy. In this sense, knowledge and understanding of these mechanisms and realities becomes in turn a rationalized anger that "forces us" to intervene, using and experimenting with different ways in which such knowledge becomes an effective tool for political activity (in its broadest sense). Adapted from the source document.
