Resumen
Descripción
Este artículo busca comprender y analizar las maneras
en que se relacionan las prácticas de comunicación
interpersonales con el “hacer política” barrial. Basadas en
los hallazgos etnográficos a los que llegamos a partir de
un trabajo de campo prolongado, buscamos contribuir a
la discusión teórica sobre la relación entre comunicación
y política indagando en las múltiples maneras en que se
vinculan en diferentes espacios anclados en la cotidianidad
de los actores sociales. Así, tomando los aportes centrales
de las perspectivas teóricas de la comunicación/cultura y de
la antropología de la política, buscamos desnaturalizar los
sentidos en torno a la participación política en el espacio
asambleario, mostrando de qué manera otras prácticas de
comunicación como los chismes y los rumores -en principio
irrelevantes- resultan en realidad centrales para comprender
las maneras en que los sujetos “hacen política”. En términos
metodológicos, la evidencia empírica que sustenta este
trabajo resultó de una investigación que realizamos durante
el 2011 y 2012 en un asentamiento construido por migrantes
de la ciudad de Córdoba.
The main interest of this article is to understand and analyze the ways in which interpersonal communication practices are related to how politic is done in neighborhood contexts. Based in the ethnographic findings to which we arrived after a long field work, we seek to contribute to the theoretical discussion on the relationship between communication and politics, exploring into the many ways they are linked in different spaces anchored in everyday actor’s social life. Thus, taking the central contributions of the theoretical perspectives of communication/culture and anthropology of politics, we seek to problematize the political participation in the assembly space, showing how other communication practices like gossip and rumors -first thought as irrelevant- are in fact essential to understand the ways in which subjects actually “do politics”. Methodologically, the empirical evidence supporting this work resulted from an investigation conducted by the authors during 2011 and 2012 in a Cordoba’s settlement built by migrants living there.
