The article argues that care is of particular interest to economic anthropology, as it incorporates seemingly contradictory tendencies: to remain in the family sphere, outside of labor/capital relations and, on the other hand, to be in the process of commodification and to be constructed as a social and political question. Both tendencies are located in turn in the tension between the mechanisms of production and social reproduction. The article deals with the issue of care as a right and, therefore, as an issue of political scope. Starting from the observation that care falls disproportionately on women and families, it suggests the need for its equitable redistribution between family, state and community, and between women and men, in order to advance towards its democratization.

En este articulo, nos proponemos analizar diferentes antecedentes y lineamientos teoricos del denominado “sector domestico”, “economia domestica”, “economia campesina” o, genericamente, los “campesinos”. Esta tematica de gran relevancia es una de las aristas fundamentales de la antropologia economica. Abordaremos estas teorizaciones a partir de la dinamica de las unidades domesticas de los denominados “pobladores” del Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, en la region cordillerana de las provincias del Neuquen (departamento Los Lagos) y Rio Negro (departamento Bariloche), en la region norte de la Patagonia argentina. A partir del analisis de estos procesos junto con los diferentes antecedentes teoricos, formularemos nuestra propuesta para el abordaje del sector domestico. Esto incluye la perspectiva etnografica caracteristica de la antropologia y las variables estructurales (junto con otras especificas) que afectan a estas poblaciones en particular.

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar el renovado proceso de expansion de la frontera agropecuaria, y la constante migracion de poblacion indigena hacia diversos centros urbanos como la Region Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Nos proponemos indagar acerca del impacto que poseen las grandes inversiones agropecuarias mas recientes en torno a los procesos de urbanizacion y concentracion de mano de obra indigena. Se trata de ensenar que mas alla del impacto negativo de la expropiacion territorial, el quiebre de las economias domesticas y los circuitos de trabajo del siglo XX, las poblaciones indigenas han reorientado sus desplazamientos migratorios en torno a nuevos formatos regionales basados en la lucha por el territorio, la identidad y el acceso a mejores condiciones de vida.

The article is about the constructions of infantile pain that a Pediatric Palliative Care team m performs in a specialized public hospital in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. With an ethnographic fieldwork during 2015, the difficulties in treating pain as an object of intervention / investigation are described. Also described are medical inquiries to qualify and explain the origin of the pain and the use of allegories in that work. It is concluded that pain is an element of power for these paliativists, the leitmotiv of their work, their identity and their expertise and their definitions are neither simple nor finished.

The paper tries to show the binding relationship that exists in the mode of capitalist production between merchandise, value and profit, as its basic categories, and politics as an artificially separated sphere of society. This is intended to reveal on the one hand the false appearance of the autonomy of politics in these societies, and on the other the illusory forms of democracy that accompany him, because the demands of value made as capital prevail above any social, political, moral, aesthetic or religious considerations.Since the objective possibilities of gaining surplus value and profitability due to capital overaccumulation are currently stuck, a decline in the democratic realizations –and specially in the options of reformism- in the political sphere are given in correspondence, as the later manifests itself as an expression of the law of value.

Este artigo trata das relacoes de creditos estabelecidas entre agricultores familiares da comunidade de Sao Lourenco, em Nova Friburgo – RJ. Estas relacoes, que muitas vezes substituem os emprestimos institucionais, sao realizadas sem nenhum tipo de contrato ou formalizacao e orientadas por valores e moralidades diferentes daqueles promovidos pelo direito positivo e pelo sistema economico. Desenvolvo entao uma discussao a respeito de duas moralidades vigentes concomitantemente nestas relacoes: a moralidade representada como local, que diz repeito diretamente as pessoas envolvidas na relacao; e a moralidade relacionada a logica do direito positivo e do sistema economico, que diz respeito a promocao dos principios igualitarios de uma ideologia individualista, baseada em regras determinadas e impessoais. Analiso tambem como relacoes aparentemente nao orientadas por valores economicos permitem que estes agricultores figurem no “mercado”, tornando-se competitivos.

Se examina el empleo del termino ‘valor de uso’ en diversas obras contemporaneas de antropologia economica. Encontrandose que la expresion esta usada en tres sentidos diferentes. Afirmo que los tres sentidos son aproximaciones parciales a una descripcion del funcionamiento de los valores que emergen del uso: las entidades materiales con las que se construye sociedad humana. Sostengo que esa triple forma de manifestacion corresponde exactamente al descubrimiento que constituyo, desde 1950, al estructuralismo: la autonomia de lo simbolico, como registro especifico, aunque vinculado a lo imaginario y lo real. Los atributos del concepto de valor de uso aqui sugerido sugieren parelismos notorios con el de significante. A saber: Arbitrariedad e indiferencia. Caracter cualitativo. Versatilidad. Capacidad de formar cadena. Desde esta perspectiva se destacan ciertos evidentes fenomenos contemporaneos, como el caracter inscripto de los bienes de uso.

Las reconfiguraciones politicas de las ultimas decadas en Argentina produjeron nuevas estrategias de lucha y organizacion popular, que implicaron la movilizacion de las familias enteras al piquete, la cooperativa de vivienda o la marcha en la plaza. A partir de este proceso, miles de ninos y ninas comenzaron a participar cotidianamente de practicas politicas sobre las que construyen conocimiento. A partir de un trabajo etnografico en una vivienda colectiva de un movimiento social de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, indagaremos aquello que entienden por politica los ninos y ninas de entre 6 y 14 anos que alli viven. Utilizaremos tambien entrevistas clinico-criticas para reconstruir sus nociones, en tanto asumimos que estos sujetos no simplifican lo que piensan los adultos sobre las practicas, sino que elaboran sus propias perspectivas a partir de la interaccion entre lo dicen los adultos, lo que conversan con sus companeros y sus construcciones individuales de sentido.

This article addresses the daily practices of care carried out by the members of the cooperative “Las Leonas”, from Las Quintas neighborhood in the city of La Plata, as part of the social program “Ellas Hacen”. The possibility of participating in this program requires that the holders establish specific care modalities that allow them to fulfill the required activities. As I show below “Las Leonas” –the lionesses- generate collective practices of care. I argue that this type of organization articulates families and especially women in collaborative frames, enabled by the parental, ethnic and migratory ties maintained by the domestic groups that make up the neighborhood. In this sense, I suggest that these shared practices respond creatively to single-parent models of care, facilitating women’s access to productive work and socialization outside of the domestic sphere.
