We are concerned with the reconstruction of a social system and the significance of social movements towards a symbiotic social system.In our modern sytematized society, individuals are not only forced to/oblized to commit the social system, but also try to commit it positively.By such commitment, individuals are dicomposed into different functions of the system and come to act as "subjects"of the system.As a result, 1)they can stabilize their social identity, and 2)the social system is reproduced self-organizingly. Then how do we reconstruct the system?What alternative systems can we propose?We insist that the stategic perspective to be proposed is Symbiosis Princible=<Heterogenization-Receptivity-Symbiotization>. We show the following three basic strategies. 1)Minor use of the soical discourse and the code of Power:movements of "Nomads"(flight-deterritorialization)and symbiotization. 2)Self-reflection and self-differentiation through dialogues:the logic of dialogue consisting of mutual interaction, reflection, and self-differenciation. 3)Networking:symbiotic combination of differences and networking them. Today's social movements consist of local and minor networks of individuals and groups submerged in everyday life.They try to differentiate the monologic administrations of the social system.They are more concerned with deterritorialization and reconstruction processes.A.Melucci(1989)says that present social movements are pre-political because they are rooted in everyday life experiences, and meta-political because poltical factors can never represent them completely.
