D'ALESSANDRO-NOGUEIRA, Renzo  y  GONZALEZ-CABANAS, Alma Amalia. Seven Capital Controversies: Analysis of "Maíz Solidario" Program in Los Altos de Chiapas. LiminaR [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp.129-147. ISSN 2007-8900.

The aim of this paper is to understand more accurately the contradictions, agreements and challenges of the conservation models of maize biodiversity through the analysis of the technological paradigm applied in the Programa Maiz Solidario in Los Altos de Chiapas. Using concepts from the Actor-Network-Theory, we used a focus group with the stakeholders involved in the Program's implementation whose speeches were grouped in seven controversies. The main conclusions value the notion of sociotechnical network for this kind of analysis and the need to establish epistemological agreements into the network.

Palabras llave : conservation; biodiversity; corn landraces; socio-technical network; technology paradigm.
