Abstract This article is an essay on the urgency of understanding and investigating the phenomena of social change and political participation, identifying the processes and conditions for them to be developed from an interdisciplinary perspective. In this sense, it is postulated the need for a new position in the face of knowledge, of a character different from the disciplinary traditions that marked the end of the 19th century and a good part of the 20th century. What should enable researchers of these issues in the XXI century for the production of a valid knowledge in its complexity, would be the ability to dialogue and transit at the frontiers of knowledge in order to indicate the agents, structures and differentiated responsibilities that concur to establish the dynamics (permanence and / or mutability) of the different spheres of human life and of the collectives in which they are carried out. Such knowledge, whether for the purpose of locating or situating the intervention (professional, voluntary) in such dynamics, or for purposes of producing, or revising systematizations that contribute to the understanding of these paths, must address the theme "Social Change and Political Participation" ", As an interdisciplinary field of academic-scientific research that guides and agglutinates the political-institutional and academic-professional action of various scientists and professionals.

Keywords : Social Change; Political participation; Interdisciplinarity; Social Aesthetics; Knowledge; Political Psychology.
