Portuguese term or phrase: um choque de saberes inteiramente afeito à constituição da política
Translating an academic paper entitled "Territórios e populações “marginais” em tempos de desenvolvimento" and am not sure what is meant by this phrase. To UK English. Thanks for your help!


Em seguida, procuramos comparar os efeitos de conhecimento acerca das dinâmicas sociais que se abrem, nessa perspectiva, aos que são gerados por outras formas de analisar. Constatamos, então, que esses efeitos são muito diferentes, que a partir deles as análises chegam a lugares distintos. O choque entre essas perspectivas de saber é, então, inteiramente rentável analiticamente. Levando-o a sério, trata-se de **um choque de saberes inteiramente afeito à constituição da política**, no sentido de Jacques Rancière .

Explanation:
The conflict between these analytic approaches and the knowledge generated by them is therefore entirely fruitful analytically. If this conflict is taken seriously, it is a conflict between knowledge systems involved in the constitution of politics, as understood by Jacques Rancière.

Explanation:
Lordy! I guess you've read up on Jacques Rancière and his views on knowledge etc. I don't think I've expressed it all that well, but I think the author, like JR, is saying something about how perceived wisdom/knowledge is dictated by policy.
"Rancière challenges his readers to consider equality as a starting point rather than a destination.(...) Ranciere claims that the poor and disenfranchised should feel perfectly able to teach themselves whatever it is they want to know. He believes that anyone can lead and that the oppressed should not feel bound to experts or reliant on others for their intellectual emancipation."
