Abstract

LILLI, Licia María. “Our work is the food for the people”: experiences of collective organization of horticultural producers in the peri-urban area of Rosario (Santa Fe). Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.71-85. ISSN 1850-275X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i52.7389.

This article addresses collective practices of horticultural producers, grouped in the Movement of Excluded Workers, analyzing the ways in which political construction is embodied in precarious experiences. We place this experience in a scenario of great public visibility and social conflict on the part of the family agriculture sector in Argentina in recent years. We argue that the need to “sustain life”, within the framework of deep and historic precarious conditions, enabled the collective construction of union organizational forms that involved the production of politics and therefore the formation of political subjects. From an ethnographic approach and within the framework of participatory research, we propose to (re) think the horizons of possibility for political action in the subaltern sectors, in a context of retraction of rights and wellbeing around work and life.

Keywords : Collective organization; Family agriculture; Precariousness; Political subjects; Peri-urban rosarino.
