Resumen
Todos los miércoles y sábados de cada semana, en la zona sur del conurbano bonaerense, se
desarrolla una de las ferias urbanas más grande,
en cantidad de puestos y extensión de calles,
de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Asisten a ella,
vecinos y comerciantes a comprar e intercambiar productos, a lo largo de 25 cuadras. Es un
escenario social en el cual se configura una red
de articulaciones, con mayor o menor grado de
formalidad, y en la cual los vínculos basados en
la confianza aparecen como los sostenedores de
las prácticas económicas en su interior, reemplazando o sobreponiéndose a las regulaciones pú-
blicas, en un contexto de apropiación, conflicto y
regulación del uso del espacio público.
El objetivo de este artículo es revisar, por un
lado, los aspectos relacionales que permiten la
perdurabilidad de los intercambios, desde un
ámbito en el cual predominan las unidades económicas “informales-marginales”, y por el otro
analizar las características del consumo en la
feria, buscando las razones principales que aparecen en el momento de la materialización de los
intercambios económicos
Every week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, one of the biggest urban fairs of Buenos Aires province –in terms of both size and quantity shops– takes place in the Southern suburbs and exurbs of the city of Buenos Aires. Neighbors and merchants attend this fair to buy and exchange products along twenty-five city blocks. Here is a social stage where a network with more formal and less formal ties takes shape. This is a network where ties based on trust appear as the basis for the economic practices within, replacing or overcoming public regulations in a context of appropriation, conflict and regulation of the public space. The goal of this article is, on one hand, to reexamine the relational aspects that allow for the durability of exchanges in an arena dominated by “informal-marginal” economic units. On the other hand, the goal of the dissertation is to analyze the characteristics of consuming practices in the fair, in search of the main reasons which come up at the time when economic exchanges materialize.
