| Sumario: | 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. |
