ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses with the challenge of bringing about a new societal perspective on organisational and societal knowledge creation, thereby building on the foundation. It provides through individual learning and research and organisational knowledge creation. The chapter illustrates that Castells work shows tangible traces of an integral logic. He emphasises the potential that the network society also offers on local levels, if linked to communities, local values and culture and with a critical perspective on informationalism. The Southern theme, and regenerated meaning, the Eastern theme, are crucial inner prerequisites for our Northern engagement for open and transparent knowledge creation. For this transition from resistance to project identity, a new politics will need to emerge. This will be a cultural politics that connects to values and experiences that spring from people's life experience. In traditional social science inquiry, history is the study of and the explanation of the particular event as it happened in the past.
