This article explores the gap between decolonization and social innovation, often treated separately despite their potential synergies. By establishing a nuanced framework applicable to various contexts, we aim to integrate decolonial principles into social innovation for more equitable and sustainable change. Our research examines the common themes, challenges, and opportunities in both fields, highlighting their interconnection, unequal power relations, liberation of dominant narratives, and intercultural dialogue. This framework enriches the materialist decolonial theory with a model that integrates the transformative goals of both concepts. It challenges the dominant power structures, embraces diverse knowledge systems, and encourages intercultural dialogue, offering a more critical assessment of social innovation processes. This model could guide practitioners, policymakers and researchers toward a more inclusive and resilient society that respects historical legacies, while valuing diverse perspectives.
Keywords: innovation sociale, social innovation, decolonization, décolonisation, transformation, transformation, innovation cycle, cycle d'innovation

Underprivileged populations face multiple social and environmental injustices and are relatively seldom considered when it comes to addressing these issues. However, decolonial epistemologies has long studied and advocated the ways in which knowledge rooted in the lifestyles of local populations can contribute to a holistic transformation of territories grappling with complex problems. This article examines the practices of “Parole d’excluEs” through the lens of epistemic justice. It highlights the contribution of this approach to the implementation of local socio-ecological transition experiments rooted in the realities of people living in poverty and social exclusion, thereby promoting greater social justice. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing actors at the margins who, without explicitly referring to theoretical frameworks or concepts of socio-ecological transition, nonetheless actively participate in the construction of a narrative and collective actions for transition.

This article analyzes the ethical and methodological issues regarding the application of research methods in Indigenous contexts in mined fields (Albera, 2001) in the Global South. By addressing refusals of access and ethnographic (des)encuentros (missed encounters), this article seeks to grasp the precarious conditions of mined fields in Mesoamerican Indigenous territory, characterized by asymmetries between actors as well as between interlocutors and the ethnographer. It also examines how field refusals of access can contribute to reevaluating the research object and approach, in this case shifting from a collaborative research project to an engaged ethnographic approach. This article concludes that research in Indigenous social minefields (Rodríguez-Garavito, 2011) requires the ethnographer to adopt values of respect, reciprocity, and relationality towards their interlocutors in the field to be attentive to the power dynamics, privileges, and constraints that they experience. To achieve this, the ethnographer must design the research flexibly so as to build a trusting relationship over time and to demonstrate humility, openness, and active listening.
