Political subjectivation from a working women case of the popular economy

Abstract

This article has reflected on the category of political subjectivation from a case of women workers in the popular economy in Argentina, between 2017 and 2020 (that is, since the first international strike of women workers and the COVID19 pandemic). The category is recovered from the poststructuralist perspective, in particular, from Rancière, Laclau and Butler. The linguistic and non-linguistic practices of the workers were analyzed, comparing their demands and their forms of social declassification, under the hypothesis that they managed to constitute a controversial name. Later it is concluded that there is a controversial scene of production of a name, of argumentation of a specific social damage and of global proposals that exceed their own discretion and seek a new institutionality. It ends with a theoretical reflection on the category at stake.
