This article focuses on the intrinsic potential of ethnographic critique challenged inthe context of innovation political projects equipped with the harmonizing Triple Helix model.An ethnographic approach has been used to generate the initial problem of harmonization,which is discussed in relation to Henry Etzkowitz’ textual assumptions on harmonizationin the Triple Helix model, followed by two ethnographic cases concerned with the practicesof harmonization. Harmonization is described as making consistent different provinces ofmeaning or worlds, unrestricting them from conflicting structures of relevance. Therefore,the concluding remarks attempt to broaden the scope of critical ethnographic strategieswith the help of a Weberian differentiation between a political and a social scientific world.
