| description | Based on an ethnographically situated study of recent electoral processes in Argentina, this study contributes to the understanding of politics and political activities of which the protagonists- politicians and political activists or operators- refer to as the territorio or local level. Drawing on ethnographic observation from different contexts- both rural and urban areas-, the case is made for the need to rescue analytically the concept of agency and the importance of personal relations that both common sense and the scholarly literature often consider politically “weak”. An alternative approach is put forward for the future research agenda which centres on inter-knowledge in the use of technology used within the political work of political leaders, candidates and activists in the process of creating relations of political representation. In addition, the importance of understanding different scales of the local, the State and government are also analysed. |

Con base en un análisis etnográficamente situado sobre procesos electorales recientes en Argentina, este texto contribuye a la comprensión de los modos en que la actividad política produce aquello que sus protagonistas –políticos y especialistas de la política– acostumbran llamar “territorio”. A partir de materiales etnográficos provenientes de contextos disímiles –regiones rurales y metropolitanas del país–, se argumenta a favor de la necesidad de restituir analíticamente la agencia de intensidades variables de relación personal en el desarrollo de la actividad política territorial y, específicamente, en favor de explorar la productividad política implicada en relaciones personales que en el sentido común nativo y académico tienden a considerarse políticamente “débiles”. Se propone así la inclusión, en las agendas de investigación, de las relaciones de interconocimiento en tanto tecnología movilizada por el trabajo político de dirigentes, candidatos y militantes en los procesos de creación de relaciones de representación política, como también en la articulación entre distintas escalas de localidad, Estado y gobierno. Com base em uma análise etnograficamente situada sobre os recentes processos eleitorais na Argentina, este texto contribui para a compreensão das formas em que a atividade política produz aquilo que seus protagonistas – políticos e especialistas em política – normalmente chamam de "território". A partir de materiais etnográficos vindos de diversos contextos – regiões rurais e metropolitanas do país – é argumentado a favor da necessidade de restituir analiticamente a agência de intensidades variáveis ??de relações pessoais no desenvolvimento da atividade política territorial e, especificamente, a favor de explorar a produtividade política envolvida em relacionamentos pessoais que, no sentido comum nativo e acadêmico, tendem a se considerar politicamente "fracos". É proposta assim a inclusão, nas agendas de pesquisa, das relações de inter-conhecimento como tecnologia movida pelo trabalho político de líderes, candidatos e militantes nos processos de criação de relações de representação política, bem como na articulação entre diferentes escalas de localidade, Estado e governo.
