Care disposition as a political way of popular economy. Senses around participation in Movimiento de Trabajadores Excluidos (2016-2021)

Abstract

This article proposes to contribute to reflection about production of collective subjectivities in the context of social and political mobilisation processes. The objective is to analyze practices, relationships and senses associated with care that articulate the participation ways of workers in Movimiento de Trabajadores Excluidos (MTE) during the period 2016-2021. Particularly, we focus on delegates of the organization. Besides they work in popular economy activities, they assume a mediation role between militants and other workers. We enquiry in senses about collective practices inside the organization from the notion of care. We maintain that this concept provides intelligibility not only to the collective practices of life reproduction but also to the ways workers experience their participation. This article is based on qualitative research in which farm and communal care workers from MTE in Gran La Plata were interviewed.
