Sumario:The article focuses on the emergence of the third sector in the scenario of structural transformations of the State and the economy at the end of the 20th century in Argentina. Accompanying such transformations, a symbolic shift is evident -with important political implications- in the profile of civil society organizations, which goes from an original idea of philanthropic associationism, associated with charity and voluntary work (Thompson, 1995; Di Steffano, 2002), towards the notion of civil society and, already in the nineties, to the idea of the social as a sector ("social sector" or "third sector"). During these years, the notion of the third sector acquired centrality and a formidable institutional capacity: it named and classified practices and actors, ordered the social and delimited the political, thus reconfiguring the relations between State and society, the scenario for the construction and exercise of citizenship.
