Sumario:This text discusses the modes of community organization carried out from Villa Floresta, a popular neighborhood in Salta capital. It will try to describe and analyze the unique ways that the poorest communities have to make a “trench”, in pursuit of subsistence, as a power for the defense of life. Against the background of the ineluctable crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and after having gone through a time of resistance conditioned by the global economic depression that it caused, we want to “take the pulse”: the word and action of those who inhabit the neighborhoods, to from those soils to approach the horizon of the daily struggles that the popular communities of the north of our country develop. We are interested in thinking about the practices carried out in the neighborhoods, from an analytic that is linked to the current debate to retrace complex plots around care as a right. The treatment of this work is developed by codifying discursive and extra-discursive practices: both of the people who inhabit the neighborhoods; as referents of the provincial government administration, reflected in journalistic documents, consulting government pages, programs and focused plans aimed at poor populations.
