| Sumario: | This article is based on an ethnographic research developed together with members of cooperatives created from Argentina Trabaja, that belongs to Movimiento Evita, within the Confederación de Trabajadores de la Economía Popular. Suspending questions about margins of “autonomy” or “dependence” of organizations vis-à-vis the state and debates about clientelism, I analyze the specific meanings that people give to their participation in cooperatives. I contend that although working in cooperatives constitutes a requirement that, from state planning, is defined as necessary, “compulsory” does not exhaust the meaning that being part of these spaces has for people, nor does it directly define the expected behaviors among peers. Thus, I will seek to show that participation is not only a mere individual adherence to a collective space or the realization of a tight set of tasks. I will argue that what is understood by participation and the maintenance of the conditions that make it possible concerns a construction process that commits people to each other, working on emotions and disputing moral images. |
