An anthropology 'of kinship in politics': Interest, collective subject and kinship in Argentine trade unions

In this article I argue for a kinship anthropology of politics, understood as a focus on the day-to-day imbrications of kinship and politics in a given political space, and the implications of that for the construction of political subjects.

I describe kinship within shop-floor-level trade union delegations of state employees in Argentina in three different ways: first, languages of kinship mobilized to describe political allegiance and dispositions, especially inheritance; second, family connections in recruitment and activism; and, third, practices of kinning as relatedness. The combination of these three kinship modes creates the union as kin group, and enables it to act on the world politically in order to transform it. En este artículo propongo una antropología del parentesco en la política, entendida como un análisis que hace foco en las imbricaciones cotidianas entre parentesco y política que se producen en un espacio político dado, y sus implicancias para la construcción de sujetos políticos. Describo el lugar del parentesco en las delegaciones sindicales de trabajadores/as estatales en Argentina de tres maneras: primero, los lenguajes del parentesco movilizados para describir filiaciones y disposiciones políticas, en especial el lenguaje de la herencia; segundo, las relaciones familiares en el ingreso de trabajadores/as al Estado y en la militancia; y tercero, las prácticas de creación de parentesco (kinning) en tanto relacionalidades (relatedness). La combinación de estos tres modos de parentesco crea al sindicato como grupo de parientes y le permite actuar políticamente sobre el mundo con el objetivo de transformarlo. Neste artigo proponho uma antropologia do parentesco na política, entendida como uma análise que se debruça sobre as sobreposições cotidianas entre parentesco e política que ocorrem num determinado espaço político e suas implicações para a construção dos sujeitos políticos. Descrevo o lugar do parentesco nas delegações sindicais dos trabalhadores estatais na Argentina de três maneiras: primeiro, as linguagens de parentesco mobilizadas para descrever filiações e disposições políticas, especialmente a linguagem de herança; segundo, as relações familiares na entrada dos trabalhadores no Estado e na militância; e terceiro, as práticas de criação de parentesco (kinning) como relações (relatedness). A combinação desses três modos de parentesco cria o sindicato como um grupo de parentes e permite que eles atuem politicamente sobre o mundo com o objetivo de transformálo. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/12905 10.34096/runa.v44i2.12905 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/12905/11465 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/12905/11765 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 44 No. 2 (2023): Anthropology of the public; 45-67 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 44 Núm. 2 (2023): Antropología de lo público; 45-67 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 44 n. 2 (2023): Antropologia do público; 45-67 1851-9628 0325-1217 Politics Kinship Trade Unions Public sector employees Política Parentesco Sindicatos Empleados estatales Política Parentesco Sindicatos Empleados públicos An anthropology 'of kinship in politics': Interest, collective subject and kinship in Argentine trade unions Una antropología ‘del parentesco en la política’: Interés, sujeto colectivo y parentesco en los sindicatos argentinos Uma antropologia do 'parentesco na política': Interesse, sujeito coletivo e parentesco nos sindicatos argentinos info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos Invitados para el Dossier https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=runa&d=12905_oai
