The diffusion of this category actualizes a series of structural tensions in the social centers network between on the one hand, an aim of emancipation and social transformation, and on the other hand a set of representations about the political role of social centers. Through and beyond these tensions, the article questions contemporary modes of “political training” of actors when democracy is more thought of as acting than as an issue of abstract training. Este artículo interroga las modalidades de circulación y de apropiación de un medio de politización (de los discursos, actores y prácticas) difundida en la red de los centros sociales en Francia en los últimos años, la del desarrollo del “poder de actuar” de los y las habitantes, a través del análisis de prácticas de capacitación. La puesta en circulación de esta noción actualiza un conjunto de tensiones de larga data y casi estructurales en la historia de la red entre, por un lado, el deseo de emancipación y transformación social y, por otro lado, un conjunto de representaciones vigentes en torno al papel político de los centros sociales. Más allá de estas tensiones, el análisis abre una pregunta central sobre las modalidades contemporáneas de la “formación política” de los actores, en una época de “democracia del hacer”. Este artigo interroga as maneiras de circulação e apropriação de um meio de politização (dos discursos, atores e práticas) difundidas na rede dos centros sociais na França nos últimos anos, a do desenvolvimento do “poder de agir” dos e das habitantes, através da analise das práticas de capacitação. A circulação desta noção atualiza um conjunto de tensões de longa data e quase estruturais na história da rede entre, por una parte, o desejo de emancipação e transformação social e, pelo outro, um conjunto de representações vigentes ao redor do papel político dos centros sociais. Para além destas tensões, a analise abre uma pergunta central em relaçao as modalidades contemporâneas da “formação política” dos atores, numa época da “democracia do fazer”. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/7239 10.34096/cas.i50.7028 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/7239/6481 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 50 (2019) 1850-275X 0327-3776 Empowerment Politization Social Centers Capacity Civic Competences Poder de Actuar Politización Centros Sociales Capacitación Competencias Cívicas Poder de atuar Politização Centros sociais Capacitação Competências cívicas To politicize in “not very politicized” contexts: paradoxes and tension regarding the development of the power to act in French social centers Politizar en contextos “poco politizados”: paradojas y tensiones en torno al desarrollo del poder de actuar en centros sociales franceses Politizar em contextos “pouco politizados”: paradoxos e tensões ao derredor do desenvolvimento do poder agir em centros sociais franceses info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos Invitados https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=7239_oai
