Los Barrios Populares de Salta capital en lucha por el ejercicio de derechos:

tácticas micro-políticas de una potencia plebeya

Abstract

This article aims to make a brief characterization of the struggle, mobilization and organization of the so-called Popular Neighborhoods in Salta capital. These lines highlighs unique features of this process, which include cultural aspects, organizational and resistance forms understood as ‘micro-policies’ that are managed and that arise from the wiliness and the everyday practices of Salta’s subaltern sectors. Through an investigative work close to survival practices, laterally understood as “community policies” that are managed by the groups that inhabit the so-called Popular Neighborhoods, we emphasize an investigation- action approach. This approach implies a detailed qualitative chronological record to try to capture the tensions that arise from power relations that involve negotiations, joint planning of Public Policies and ‘pressure tactics’ on public administration officials, which will have, as an effect, a particular way to undertake in ‘the political’: the exercise of a ‘plebeian power’. The interpretative drifts admit a “diatopic” web in the instrumentation of different domains, those that are practiced from the Social Sciences, Political Philosophy, Law, among others. The work developed here responds to initials lines that outline, in a creative and committed way, a future Doctoral research.
