description In this article, I analyze how the agrarian demands of a rural workers’ union in the Northern-Uruguay were managed within the framework of a government development policy whose objective was to convert its beneficiaries into efficient sugarcane producers. From a perspective that combines the thinking of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari with the Marxian analysis of credit systems, I examine the conflicting convergence between agrarian struggle and rural development, conceptualizing it as an unstable ‘collective equipment’ [équipement collectif] that captures social desire. Through participant observation and in interlocution with the beneficiaries of development policies, I examine the economic consequences of desire equipment and indicate its conditions of (im)possibility, as well as the ways to overcome it politically. I conclude by reflecting on the primacy of desire over any capture process that aims to order and functionalize it.

En este artículo analizo cómo las demandas agrarias de un sindicato de trabajadores rurales del extremo norte del Uruguay han sido administradas en el marco de una política gubernamental de desarrollo que pretendió convertir a sus respectivos beneficiarios en productores eficientes de caña de azúcar. Desde una perspectiva que conjuga el pensamiento de Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari con el análisis marxiano de los sistemas de crédito, examino la convergencia conflictiva entre lucha agraria y desarrollo rural, conceptualizándola como un equipamiento inestable de captura del deseo colectivo. A través de la observación participante y en diálogo con los beneficiarios de las políticas de desarrollo en el norte uruguayo, evalúo las consecuencias económicas del “equipamiento de deseo”, señalo sus condiciones de (im)posibilidad y los caminos para su posible superación política. Finalizo reflexionando sobre la primacía creadora del deseo respecto de todo proceso de captura que apunte a encauzarlo y funcionalizarlo.
