These answers generate imaginaries, moral representations and prior experiences that give sense to the events and organize strategies. Taking this fact into account, this paper proposes to analyze the idealistic aspects of the economic global crisis through the experiences of the cooperative workers in the mines of Bolivia. Their logic of interpretation is far from those proposed by the salary and the welfare State. Thus, the crisis appears as an ideal heuristic situation to understand market and labour representations of the social actors. As a matter of fact, we can observe that for the Bolivian miners the breakdown of the miner’s market was less traumatic that the previously unseen prosperity. This assessment reminds us that the sudden excessive accumulation of wealth can be a crisis equal to that experienced by the economical recession. Aun en las situaciones más precarias, las respuestas a las crisis económicas no se limitan a la resolución práctica de la supervivencia. Ellas movilizan imaginarios, representaciones morales, así como experiencias previas que dan sentido a los acontecimientos y organizan las estrategias. Partiendo de esta constatación, este artículo se propone analizar la parte “ideal” de la recesión global a través de la experiencia de los mineros cooperativistas de Bolivia, cuyas lógicas de interpretación coinciden poco con los análisis forjados desde el empleo asalariado y el centralismo del Estado. De esta manera, la crisis se revela como un contexto heurístico particularmente rico para entender las representaciones del mercado y del trabajo de los actores sociales. De hecho, veremos que para los mineros, el desmoronamiento del mercado minero fue menos desestructurante que la bonanza inédita que le precedió. Una constatación que recuerda que el enriquecimiento brutal es tanto una crisis del sistema liberal como la recesión. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2727 10.34096/cas.i31.2727 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2727/2363 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 31 (2010): 25 aniversario de la creación de la Sección de Antropología Social; 33-54 1850-275X 0327-3776 Bolivia Cooperativas Mineros Representaciones sociales Trabajo Dinero Bolivia Cooperatives Miners Social Representations Work Money The ideal side of the crisis.
