| description |
In these lines I propose an exercise in “reflexivity” (Guber, 2004) of my socio-anthropological research experience on identity narratives around processes of agricultural business advancement in rural territories. The research problem is based on the experience of “Our United Farms”, a community work group of small producer families in the Pampa de Pocho (Traslasierra, Córdoba, Argentina).
To recognize obstacles and enablers of the point of view from which I approach the problem, I propose a dialogue between scenes reconstructed from participant observations and interviews with members of the organization and authors who make contributions around the “affective turn”, feminist theory and care.
I propose three questions that trigger reflections on what I made invisible and on the incorporating of new dimensions and perspectives that allow us to open our gaze. The first question refers to the invisibility of actions as political because they belong to the private sphere. The second invites us to think about the unequal conditions of access for participation in certain forms of protest and identity implications. The third one, avoiding an essentialist perspective of emotions, recognizes their importance to interrogate the actions and inactions of subjects, understanding that affects do not work in a single direction.

En estas líneas propongo un ejercicio de “reflexividad” (Guber, 2004) de mi experiencia de investigación1 socioantropológica sobre las narrativas identitarias en torno a procesos de avance del agronegocio en territorios rurales. Problemática que estudio de manera situada a partir de la experiencia de “Nuestras Granjas Unidas”, un grupo de trabajo comunitario de familias pequeñas productoras de la Pampa de Pocho (Traslasierra, Córdoba, Argentina). Para reconocer obturadores y habilitantes del punto de vista desde el cual abordo la problemática, propongo un diálogo entre escenas reconstruidas a partir de observaciones participantes y entrevistas a integrantes de la organización y autoras que realizan aportes en torno al “giro afectivo” la teoría feminista y de los cuidados. Propongo tres interrogantes que tomo como disparadores para reflexionar sobre aquello que invisibilicé, en pos de incorporar nuevas dimensiones y perspectivas que permitan abrir la mirada. La primera pregunta refiere a la invisibilización de acciones como políticas por pertenecer al ámbito de lo privado. La segunda invita a pensar las condiciones desiguales de acceso para la participación en ciertas modalidades de protesta y sus implicancias identitarias. Y la tercera, sorteando una perspectiva esencialista de las emociones, reconoce su importancia para interrogar las acciones e inacciones de los sujetos, comprendiendo que los afectos no funcionan en una única dirección.
