| description | This article analyzes the socialization and construction of social and political capital in popular movements in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. To analyze this case, we employ a theoretical framework which draws on the concepts of activist social capital and political socialization. These concepts serve to illuminate the native Argentinian concept of “talking the talk”, which is a key skill that contributes to the construction of one’s social capital as an activist. We argue that this know how is particularly important in determining one’s trajectory as an activist. However, understanding how to employ political discourse requires the adoption of a gender lens given that the mastery of “talking the talk” represents a greater challenge for female activists who have to overcome the impossibility of speaking. The reflections developed in this article problematize the everyday politics and practices of popular social movements given that the know-how of “talking the talk” contributes to the crystallization of the gendered social division of labor in social movements. |

El presente artículo analiza la socialización de habilidades militantes en movimientos populares emplazados en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA), Argentina. Para ello, se propone un abordaje teórico acerca de las nociones de capital militante y socialización política. Interesa detenerse en la categoría nativa saber hablar en tanto habilidad integrante del capital militante que es especialmente valorada en la construcción de trayectorias de militancia. Adicionalmente saber hablar requiere una aproximación basada en una perspectiva de género dado que la apropiación de esta habilidad representa un mayor desafío subjetivo para las mujeres militantes planteado en términos de la superación de una imposibilidad de hablar. Las reflexiones desarrolladas aportan horizontes de problematización y discusión sobre el devenir de la política cotidiana en movimientos populares, dado que la socialización de habilidades como saber hablar contribuye a la subjetivación política tanto como expresa la cristalización de una división social del trabajo contestatario. Este artigo analisa a socialização de habilidades militantes em movimentos populares localizados na Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA), Argentina. Para isso, se propõe uma abordagem teórica sobre as noções de capital militante e socialização política. É interessante deter-se na categoria nativa saber falar como uma habilidade integrante do capital militante que é especialmente valorizada na construção de trajetórias de militância. Além disso, saber falar requer uma aproximação baseada numa perspectiva de gênero, uma vez que a apropriação dessa habilidade representa um maior desafio subjetivo para as mulheres militantes colocado nos termos da superação da incapacidade de falar. As reflexões desenvolvidas contribuem a horizontes de problematização e discussão do futuro da política cotidiana nos movimentos populares, uma vez que a socialização de habilidades, como saber falar, contribui para a subjetivação política, tanto quanto expressa a cristalização de uma divisão social do trabalho contestatório.
