This article explores and identifies the technological, psychological and social mechanisms activated for the deprivation of freedoms in the creation of psycho-social subject in the framework of cognitive capitalism or capitalism on intangible goods. Secondly, it experiences the release of subjectivities based on critical methodologies such as the creation of technological and discursive tools and the execution of new organizational practices. All of the above made possible by the door opened by the philosophy of Free Software, understood in this case as a perspective to bring liberation to the fields of technoscience, the cultural productions and the sex-affective and kinship. Other theoretical frameworks applied are actant-rhizome ontology (ANT) and Queer theory. All this demonstrates the multiplicity of factors operating in various manifestations we consider representative of the phenomenon: the case of what is know as the Social Web or Web 2.0 and specifically the construction of the communication via traditional electronic mail; a private communication network financed with public moneis; the form of structuring of the society under plannings of the nuclear family (taking one from its examples) and the organization of management of the knowledge Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

The results obtained were the facilitation of a personal and collective process of empowerment and self-enabling, the enrichment of personal and group communication and the creation of accessible knowledge. All have fostered the release of public habitable subject positions with power to carry out political actions.

Note about authors

This text was written by multiple voices. The practice of what is called knowledge generation is never an individual practice, no matter how hard the capitalist logics that operate in academic circles insist that is so. Creation is always a practice involving a variety of actants, and the creation of this text was carried out in that way—the only feasible way—with the intention of reclaiming this practice as a political act, in favour of the production of and collective access to knowledge providing more liberties to people, such that it forms the basis of a more just society.
