Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. | | Spanish term or phrase: A lo que se recurre habitualmente | Talking about local government interventions and participatory techniques, whether or not the intervention professionals are fearful that they will lose power etc etc.
Sin embargo, esta pérdida de poder de los profesionales es un factor comúnmente asumido como principal razón del bloqueo de las intervenciones participativas, y muy probablemente se tiene gran parte de razón al considerarlo así. Para justificar esta conclusión se esgrimen razones sistémicas, estructurales y de carácter corporativo, pero no se baja a analizar qué supone específicamente esa supuesta pérdida de poder o, mejor dicho, con qué significación se produce. Si no se explora intensamente esta dimensión, el fenómeno en general queda sólo parcialmente analizado y se corre el peligro de entenderlo de forma incompleta. A lo que se recurre habitualmente, a través de la cita explícita o implícita de Foucault, es a vincular ese poder con el conocimiento (Foucault, 1981).
I am havine real trouble with the last sentence. I tried to turn it around to read:
Implicit or explicit references to Foucault imply an attempt to link that power with knowledge
but the author doesn't like it. Any ideas please???
thanks
