description This article presents an analytical overview of the topic of political operators, politicians and political professionals drawing on the literature and empirical research including sociological approaches, ethnographic work and the specialized literature. Drawing on the sociology of political practice, a definition of political work is developed which centres on three aspects: the skills and practical abilities that politicians develop, the resources that are employed and the outputs of political practice. From here, we propose and dissect a range of key analytic dimensions (scales of action, resources, skills, careers and trajectories) to configure the objectives for research on this topic from the everyday practices of politicians and political professionals. Finally, we situate different modes of political practice within the broader social worlds in which they exist.

El artículo presenta una primera sistematización analítica de la categoría “trabajo político”, a partir de experiencias de investigación acumuladas en trabajos de campo de corte sociológico y etnográfico y de literatura especializada. Desde una sociología de las prácticas políticas, el artículo construye una definición del trabajo político centrada en tres aspectos: las competencias y habilidades prácticas que desarrollan los políticos, los recursos que utilizan y los productos que crean. A partir de allí, propone y disecciona un conjunto de dimensiones analíticas (escalas de acción, recursos y destrezas, carreras y trayectorias políticas) que consideramos clave para construir objetos de investigación a partir del hacer cotidiano de los actores políticos. El artículo cierra situando los modos en que los mundos sociales permean las prácticas políticas. Este texto apresenta uma sistematização analítica da categoria trabalho político a partir de experiências de pesquisa acumuladas em trabalhos de campo de caráter sociológico, etnográfico e de literatura especializada. Desde uma sociologia de práticas políticas, neste artigo se constrói uma definição do trabalho político centrada em três aspectos: as competências e habilidades práticas desenvolvidas pelos políticos, os recursos que usam e os produtos que criam. A partir disto, se propõem e examinam um conjunto de dimensões analíticas fundamentais (escalas de ação, recursos e habilidades, carreiras e trajetórias políticas) para configurar objetos de pesquisa a partir do trabalho cotidiano de atores políticos. Finalmente, são localizadas as formas em que os mundos sociais atravessam as práticas políticas.   Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Sede Ecuador 2018-01-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf text/html application/xml application/zip https://iconos.flacsoandes.edu.ec/index.php/iconos/article/view/3014 10.17141/iconos.60.2018.3014 Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; Núm. 60 (2018): El trabajo político en América Latina: actores, recursos y trayectorias; 11-29 Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; n. 60 (2018): O trabalho político na América Latina: atores, recursos e trajetórias; 11-29 Íconos.
