| description | This article contributes to the literature on political practice through an anthropological analysis of public infrastructure projects in contemporary Argentina. We differentiate two socially significant perspectives for the actors involved: as political activists and the managers of public infrastructure projects. Reviewing both of these perspectives allows us to approach political work in relation to the social production of politics, and with that, break with the lens of hermeneutic cynicism through which public infrastructure projects are often viewed. The research on which this article draws is based on various ethnographic studies conducted between 1999 and 2014. Through the analysis presented in this article these studies are revisited in light of new research questions and focuses on the everyday practices of politics. |

Este texto contribuye al conocimiento de la categoría de trabajo político a través del análisis antropológico de un proceso relacionado con la creación de infraestructura pública vial en la Argentina contemporánea. Se diferencian dos aproximaciones socialmente significativas para los actores: el trabajo político como militante y el trabajo político como creación de obras. Especificar ambas perspectivas permite abordar el trabajo político en relación con la producción social de la política y, con ello, romper con la hermenéutica del cinismo con la cual suele evaluarse la obra pública. El corpus de datos en que se basa el artículo ha sido elaborado en varias campañas de trabajo de campo etnográfico desde 1999 hasta 2014; en esta oportunidad, el mismo es revisitado a la luz de nuevas preguntas de investigación y enfoques del quehacer político. Este texto contribui para o conhecimento da categoria de trabalho político através da análise antropológica de um processo relacionado à criação de infraestrutura pública rodoviária na Argentina contemporânea. São diferenciadas duas abordagens socialmente significativas para os atores: como militantes e como criadores de obras. Especificar ambas as perspectivas nos permite abordar o trabalho político em relação com a produção social da política e, com isso, quebrar com a hermenêutica do cinismo com a qual as obras públicas são geralmente avaliadas. O corpus de dados em que o artigo se baseia foi elaborado em várias campanhas de trabalho de campo etnográfico desde 1999 até 2014. Nesta oportunidade, o mesmo é revisado à luz de novas questões de pesquisa e abordagens do fazer político.
