Alteridad y Poder en una Fábrica Recuperada Argentina

En este texto mostraremos parte de un estudio etnográfico mayor, que se centró en conocer las transformaciones de las relaciones sociales, y de la cultura fabril, de un grupo de trabajadores industriales urbanos que autogestionan, desde fines de 2003, una fábrica recuperada de calzados y ropa deportiva argentina. Este artículo se centrará en describir las relaciones de alteridad y poder que estos trabajadores fueron desplegando luego de organizarse bajo el formato de cooperativa. Veremos cómo, desarmada la relación de alteridad principal de la vieja empresa (sintetizada en el vínculo patrón-empleados), los propios asociados de la cooperativa comenzaron a construir diversas alterizaciones en el nuevo contexto de relacionamiento mutuo, que se superpusieron y enlazaron con otras que provenían del pasado como empresa bajo patrón. Detallaremos ciertos rasgos de sus interacciones sociales y describiremos ciertas categorías de la práctica cotidiana. Se trata de categorías que acompañaron la formación de procesos identificatorios complejos y constelaciones de poder. Palabras clave: Fábrica recuperada. Poder. Alteridad. Autogestión. Igualitarismo. Otherness and Power in Recovered Factory of Argentina Abstract This text will show part of a larger ethnographic study, which focused on knowing the transformation of social relations, and factory culture, of a group of self-managing urban industrial workers who, since late 2003, are in charge of a recovered factory of footwear and sports clothing of Argentina. This article will focus on describing the relationships of otherness and power that these workers developed after organizing under the cooperative format. We'll see how, when the principal relationship of otherness of the old company (synthesized in the employer-employee tie) was dismantled, the members of the cooperative began to build different otherness relationships in the new context, which are overlapped and bonded with others came from the past as a company under a boss. We'll detail some features of their social interactions and describe certain categories of the daily practice. These categories accompanied the formation of complex identification procedures and constellations of power. Keywords: Recovered factory. Power. Otherness. Worker self-management. Egalitarianism.

Land-use changes or land conversion issues not only poses a threat of ecological or environmental, but also trigger a variety of dynamics and complexity of social relations in it. West Cilebut Villages has been the target of investors and developers of housing since the 1990s, and now the West Cilebut Villages has changed from an area full of green “romantic” village, into the region filled with concrete. Therefore, this study was conducted to answer fundamental issues related to the issue of land conversion in the West Cilebut Village, first is to see the map and interests between actors in relation to land conversion in the West Cilebut Village, and second to know the social interactions dynamics that occur in West Cilebut community, following the land conversion from the farm into housing estates. The results showed that there are three main actors in relation to issues of land use change in West Cilebut Village: (1) The Housing Developer; (2) Village Apparatus / Government; (3) Society; where the three actors have a role and importance of different orientations. Meanwhile, social interaction between housing and rural communities basically shows a relationship of mutual need. Construction of housing community that luxurious and exclusive slowly turns into inclusive and reflect a resiprocity of the two communities.

Este artigo é resultado de uma tese de doutorado que teve como objetivo identificar inovações no campo da organização do trabalho produzidas pelas experiências de empresas recuperadas por trabalhadores no Brasil e na Argentina. A tese central defendida é a de que as limitações impostas pela hegemonia do modo de produção capitalista não encerram a possibilidade de construção de novas relações sociais de produção. Os cinco estudos de caso realizados e a experiência de levantamentos da totalidade das experiências de empresas recuperadas nos dois países forneceram elementos que permitiram problematizar em vários aspectos a organização capitalista do trabalho e, por meio de uma crítica prática, como sugere Rebón (2007), propiciaram a reflexão sobre a possibilidade de superação do modelo hegemônico, que não passa apenas pela inovação no interior das organizações, mas também da relação dessas empresas com seus territórios.Palavras-chave: empresas recuperadas por trabalhadores; organização do trabalho; autogestão; estudos organizacionais críticos. Abstract: This article is the result of a doctoral thesis which aims to identify innovations in the field of labour organization produced by the experiences of companies recovered by workers in Brazil and Argentina. The central thesis defended is that the limitations imposed by the hegemony of the capitalist mode of production do not dismiss the possibility of building new social relations of production. The five case studies and the experience with surveys of all experiences recuperated enterprises in the two countries provided information that allowed questioning in several respects the capitalist organization of work and, through a critical practice, as suggested Rebón (2007), propitiated reflection on the possibility of overcoming the hegemonic model, it is not only about innovation within organizations, but also the relationship of these companies with their territories.

Origin Myths

AbstractMost national myths of origin begin with some transcendent or sacrificial story of violent revolution, warfare or liberation. This is also true of many origin myths of ethnic, tribal or other forms of social identity. This makes it appear that some act of violence is the cause of their coming into being. This paper argues that this is an artefact of the temporal 'peculiarity' of violence. Violent events, it is argued, are essentially unpredictable even when statistically probable. This means that violence is only 'visible' after the fact, and rarely before and that plausible causal models can rarely be constructed in advance. Violence is always seen in retrospect, then, and where it has caused significant death and destruction, it requires that we begin to make sense of what caused it. Unlike other planned or and emotionally charged social interactions (such as eating, sexuality, ritual) acts of violence interrupt (disrupt, breach, rupture, break, etc.) and terminate parts or all of previous social relations. Since the cause of violence can only be assigned retrospectively, this means that we must (re-)construct the past in a way that allows us to make sense of it. Where some violent event is followed by the eventual emergence of a new identity, the new identity is often explained as having 'originated' in violence. This implies that violence caused the new social identity in some way, and that it functions as a political instrument. But violence can only create a void, and is chaotic. After violence, we require the (re-)telling of the past in a new way. This makes violence appear at the beginning of narratives of origin, but does not imply that violence caused these identities. Since large scale violence leads cultural loss and to large scale social (re)construction, narratives of identity tend to begin at these moments in time. This account of violence seeks, therefore, to undermine the notion that violence is an efficient or final cause of social forms.

Estudio De Caso

El presente artículo busca analizar las transformaciones que ha sufrido la autoridad del profesor en la escuela chilena a través de un estudio de caso. Para ello se analizará la noción de autoridad desde una perspectiva histórica en la cultura escolar del Instituto Nacional a través de 4 periodos: 1973-1977, 1982-1986, 1990-1994, 2006-2010. A partir de entrevistas realizadas a ex alumnos del Instituto Nacional se observarán las maneras en que se ha concebido la autoridad en las distintas épocas y las transformaciones que se han producido en los periodos señalados. Durante las últimas décadas se han producido cambios sociales caracterizados por una nueva manera de entender la autoridad, caracterizada por el dialogo, el consenso, la comprensión etc. Esto ha favorecido la democratización de las relaciones sociales y por tanto ha influido en las formas en que se ejerce la autoridad.Palabras clave: cultura escolar, transformaciones, Instituto Nacional Authority and school.

ResumenMedellín es una ciudad de contrastes. Durante décadas ha sido afectada por diversas manifestaciones de violencia, que han mantenido activo el legado y poder del narcotráfico, la corrupción y el conflicto armado. Al mismo tiempo, sus habitantes han sobrevivido desde la resiliencia, mediante movimientos, organizaciones y personas que han defendido la vida y la paz. El Museo Casa de la Memoria nace en Medellín en el año 2011, en medio de un conflicto vivo, pensado como un museo participativo e incluyente, con el objetivo de propiciar una plataforma educativa, de diálogo, reflexión y construcción de memorias plurales. A partir de entonces, ha trabajado en la creación e implementación de una museología viva, mediante la construcción de memorias participativas con víctimas, personas en proceso de reintegración, excombatientes, sociedad civil, líderes sociales, fuerzas militares del Estado y organizaciones no gubernamentales. Sus manifestaciones constituyen un acervo que motivael vínculo con los públicos desde una relación de reciprocidad que permite la resignificación de lo vivido a partir de la deconstrucción o afirmación de lo pasado, incluso lo presente, interpelando lo acontecido, afianzando la identidad y la posibilidad de reconstruir el complejo tejido social haciamejores horizontes. Palabras clave: memoria, museología crítica, memoria viva, resignificación, resiliencia. AbstractMedellín is a city of contrasts. For decades it has been affected by various demonstrations of violence, which have kept active the legacy and power of drug trafficking, corruption and armed conflict. At the same time, its inhabitants have survived from resilience, through movements, organizations and people who have defended life and peace. The Casa de la Memoria Museum was born in Medellín in 2011, in the midst of a living conflict. Conceived as a participatory and inclusive museum, with the aim of promoting an educational platform, dialogue, reflection and construction of plural memories. Since then, it has worked on the creation and implementation of a living museology, through theconstruction of participatory memories with victims, people in the process of reintegration, former combatants, civil society, social leaders, state military forces and non-governmental organizations. Their demonstrations constitute a collection that motivates the link with the public from a relationship of reciprocity that allows the resignification of the lived thing from the deconstruction or affirmation of the past, including the present, questioning what has happened, strengthening the identity and the possibility of rebuilding the complex social fabric towards better horizons.

The Relationship

For the ancient Greeks, ritual was communication with the gods, aimed at achieving a communality between gods and humans, principally in the service of a community’s welfare, cohesion, and stability, and at the very least, configuring social relations between individuals. This chapter provides a brief methodological survey of how society, predominantly the ancient Greek city-state (polis), has been the main reference for the study of Greek ritual. Rituals derived their authority from tradition but were flexible actions in constant dialogue with the past, endowed with agency in all areas of Greek life: society, politics, economics, culture, and religion itself. After explaining the relationship of myth to ritual, the chapter examines how the Greeks developed strategies working up towards a ritual moment of temporary intimacy with the divine in sacrificial ritual, choral performance, festivals, processions, and dedications. The essay concludes with a section on how the individual relates to the community through ritual.

How is collective remembering inhibited by organizational changes which were not intended to manipulate it? And how does collective forgetting affect workers’ power and sense of identity? We rely on an ethnographic study of a charitable organization that went through recent organizational changes to study two processes constitutive of collective forgetting. The first process consists in the past becoming unusable because once-useful memories lost their practical usefulness for participants’ new activities. The second process consists in the past becoming uprooted because the social relations through which memories used to be shared had changed beyond recognition. Our findings provide insights into the organizational processes through which memories cease to circulate. They also help understand the complex relations between memory, power relations and participants’ sense of identity.

Concrete Model

Empathy is seen as the capacity to perceive, understand and experience others' emotions. This notion is often considered as one of the major elements in social interactions between humans. As such, when creating social agents, that are believable and able to engage users in social interactions, empathy needs to be addressed. Indeed, for the past few years, many researchers have been looking at this problem, not only in trying to find ways to perceive the user's emotions, but also to adapt to them, and react in an empathic way. This paper provides a small overview of this new challenging area of research, by analyzing empathy in the social relations established between humans and social agents, and providing a concrete model for the creation of empathic social agents.

AbstractBased on an ethnographic study located in Botswana, I move beyond conceptions of the local as physically or territorially grounded to one that examines how it is constituted through links between persons and land derived from life histories extended over several generations. This not only takes account of a specific site in which social relations are bounded and locally constituted but also of how perceptions of locality are discursively and historically constructed. Viewing land as both a tangible and intangible universe constructed through social relationships, I highlight ways in which individuals, as part of a ‘local’ community, find their life courses shaped by wider transnational and global processes, including law, that have an impact on their everyday lives. For some, this provides opportunities for upward mobility and future gains, while others find scope for action severely curtailed. In documenting these uneven, diverse effects of globalisation, what emerges are processes of ‘internalisation’ and ‘relocalisation’ of global conditions, allowing for the emergence of new identities, alliances and struggles for space and power within specific populations. Thus what exists in the here and now as a form of temporality is constantly remade, drawing on the past while fashioning new prospects for the future.
