| Sumario: | 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. He isinterested in the links between access to property and the political production of urbanspaces in Latin America, considering this process as one of the effects of this subjectivation.
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. It shows that this can be achieved throughthe objectification of the "beneficiaries", individual responsibility, the standardization of therelationship to housing and the depoliticization of forms of social regulation. |
