摘要：Socioconstructionism has proposed on the field of social psychology a metatheory to overpass the mainstream social theory’s essentialism and objectivism. The “anti-authorian” and and “emancipator” character of socioconstructionism arose from its capacity to unmask the essentialist and objectivist assumptions that reified and naturalized the world as extra-human and therefore inevitable. However, this liberatory promise has been weakened by attending just to one deconstructive dimension that unveils the tracks of human action in the construction of reality. The exclusive attention to this dimension can eventually endanger the possibility to legitimate and/or propose alternative worlds to those already deconstructed. Through the metaphor of construction it has been generated a body of arguments closed within social-human processes. This has prevented thinking on the material-semiotic background where human and and non-human actors participate and articulate whith each other, and where all “social construction of reality” is produced. In that sense, we talk about “omnipotent constructionism” which seems to state the world is generated ex novo in every action as in a permanent “big-bang”. This article develops a critical revision on the politicas practices social constructionist discourse facilitates or forecloses. In that direction, after describing its central elements, different critiques are presented on the “omnipotent character” of certain social constructionist positions: taking humans off the world, forgetting non-human actors’agency and obviating the semotic-material background of action. Finally, from these critiques we offer some proposals recognizing the urgency of doing politics from partial and contingent positions.
