Homeownership as a mode of political subjectivation Vivienda social y gubernamentalidad en América Latina El acceso a la propiedad privada como proceso de subjetivación política Quentin, Aurélie Governmentality Housing subsidies Quito political subjectivation Gubernamentalidad subsidios de vivienda Quito subjetivación política This article aims to contribute to the debate that has been going on for some yearsin the social sciences on how neo-liberal governmentality affects subjectivities.

Through a study of the political rationality of the housing subsidy programdeveloped in Ecuador since 1998 and a survey carried out in Quito among a group ofwomen who have benefited from it, it seeks to shed light on how this means of access tohousing has a concrete effect on the transformation of subjectivities, leading to aweakening of the "general will" of individuals.

Este artículo pretende contribuir al debate que desde hace algunos años sedesarrolla en las ciencias sociales sobre cómo la gubernamentalidad neoliberal afecta alas subjetividades. Se fija en los vínculos entre el acceso a la propiedad y la producciónpolítica de espacios urbanos en América Latina, considerando este proceso como uno delos efectos de esta subjetivación. A través de un estudio de la racionalidad política delprograma de subsidio habitacional desarrollado en Ecuador desde 1998 y de unaencuesta realizada en Quito a un grupo de mujeres beneficiarias del mismo, buscaesclarecer cómo este medio de acceso a la vivienda tiene un efecto concreto en latransformación de las subjetividades, conduciendo a un debilitamiento de la "voluntadgeneral" de los individuos. Muestra que esto puede lograrse mediante la objetivación delos "beneficiarios", la responsabilidad individual, la normalización de la relación con lavivienda y la despolitización de las formas de regulación social.
