from a local perspective to deveal the inconformity
of the community towards the systematic
deprives and expropriations by means of the
instrumental logic that intend constantly mercantilize

and information is configured as a vital part of
the territory and as such must be first safeguarded
and be dialogued at the inner sphere of the
community to comprehensively strenghten it.
