Abstract
Social conflict in postcrisis Argentina can be divided into three kinds: that concentrating on land issues and the ability to subsist beyond the market, that confronting the environmental degradation resulting from mining, and that focused on the current dilemmas of labor and union organization. Workers did not disappear as collective subjects in conflict but, starting from their positions in production or in “unproductive” activities such as government services, challenged the dynamics of capital from both old and new social spaces. Their singular practices are part of the conflictual scenario that Our America is currently experiencing and of the resistance in the region that brings new urgency to “living with dignity.”
El conflicto social en la Argentina posterior a la crisis se puede dividir en tres tipos: el que se centra en cuestiones de la tierra y la capacidad de subsistir más allá del mercado, el que enfrenta la degradación ambiental resultante de la minería, y el que se centró en los dilemas actuales de la organización laboral y sindical. Los trabajadores no desaparecieron como sujetos colectivos en conflicto, sino que, a partir de sus posiciones en la producción o en actividades “improductivas,” tales como los servicios públicos, desafiarion la dinámica del capital de los viejos y nuevos espacios sociales. Sus prácticas singulares son parte del escenario conflictivo que Nuestra América está viviendo y de la resistencia en la región, que trae una nueva urgencia a “vivir con dignidad.”
