La Carpa de Economía Social y Solidaria: Aportes al análisis de los procesos de subjetivación

Abstract

In recent years, the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) has been the subject of various studies and a field of academic interest, it comprises a variety of practices grouped under fair trade, companies recovered by their workers, cooperatives and associations, among others. This work presents the results of a research carried out through a multi-sited ethnography and experimental collaboration which analyzed the acquisition, assembly, co-design and putting in circulation of a tent for the disposition of fairs, conversations and cultural events linked to the SSE, whose purpose was to transmit the organization political message in its displacement through the city; experience carried out in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 2018. We analyze the contribution of these practices to the field of SSE studies and discuss some perspectives that allow us to think about the mode of subjectivation emerging from the experience. The conclusions present how, starting from an affective mode of politics, it is possible to understand the practices of SSE as the production of other forms of possible worlds.
