Purpose: This article proposes a new conceptual framework in three dimensions, using the ontologically interdisciplinary component of Information and Communication Sciences. Description: It proposes a communicational approach to social innovation of social and solidarity economy actors, addressing the praxeological dynamics of common sense and the construction of shared knowledge in a public space. Point of view: In particular, the dichotomy between a utilitarian and transforming identity in sse organizations and the communication practices involved are questioned. Conclusions: The progress described herein has a tendency, in our opinion, to challenge the dichotomies established in connection with the sse (isomorphic social economy vs. transforming solidarity economy) and social innovation (a “weak” version vs. a “strong” version). In fact, the processes triggered in these two fields are much more complex and much more ambivalent.

Keywords: barriers, communication, social and solidarity economy, social innovation.
