The solidarity economy builds generating realities of topics and discussions that guide different projects and actions implemented in the Brazilian context. There are different definitions and meanings that characterize these new practices of generating employment and income, generally named as “solidarity economy”. This study aims to understand how the meanings to the notion of “solidarity economy” are built in academic studies and cooperative realities. We mapped the major works of two important conceptual authors on the subject and we did an ethnographic study in two cooperatives which have different bindings to “solidarity economy”. Thus, we seek for an approach that allows an empirical problematization for this notion.
