MORALES-NAVARRO, Laura María y ARELLANO-HERNANDEZ, Antonio. Sociotechnical capital construction: professional transformations and the production of hybrid materials. Convergencia [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.61, pp.61-82. ISSN 2448-5799.
Conventionally, the social capital notion has been analyzed delimiting borders between types of capital in its minimalist dimensions, the transitional and expansionist, and its expression at the micro, meso or macroaction of agents. In this paper we adapt the contents of 'social capital' to be understood as 'socio-technical capital', defined as the action of the actors in the pursuit of profit collective and inseparable links with artifacts and knowledge. To demonstrate this use of social capital, we offer the results of an ethnographic study, showing the simultaneous production of scientific facts, artifacts, technological and social value, translating the transformation of the disciplinary identity of the actors with the production of a hybrid nature anticorrosive coating. We analyzed mutations in the development of socio-technical capital in the form of disciplinary change, problem solving and development of industrial goods.
