COWAN ROS, Carlos  y  BERGER, Matías. “Subjects” to organization: associative and political practices in rural development in Jujuy and Formosa, Argentina. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.31, pp.285-304. ISSN 1514-6871.

To promote organization between subaltern rural population is a constant aim in theories and strategies of argentinian rural development agencies and NGOs. In this paper, we reflect about associative and political practices produced as result of relationships between subaltern rural population and rural development agents framed in several development projects since 1990 decade to recent days. Ethnographic method and case study strategy were used to described two social networks, one located in Jujuy and the other in Formosa. Through comparision we observed regularities and singularities of each case and contribute in methodological aspects to organization process studies. Main conclusions point that associative ways promoted by development agents, far from remain autonomous and uncontamined, they overlap on preexisting structures and, in struggle processes, reconfigure them as an effect of relationships based on different logics, representations, life paths and organizational ways.
