| description | This article is based on an ongoing ethnographic research project with cooperatives of street vendors that are part of the Confederation of Workers of Popular Economy (CTEP), a recently formed union in Argentina whose objective is to represent workers of the “popular economy”. This research project aims to contribute to studies about the ways in which the so called “popular sectors” develop creative practices from their precarious positions to deal with the production and reproduction of life. In this work an analysis is done on the way in which this experience of precarity enabled a process of collective construction that connects a living past, anchored in subjective experiences, with a future that projects this experience in political terms in the form of a union. This article asserts that this process of collective construction creates tension between classical work divisions, such as formal/informal, salaried employee/non-salaried employee, worker movements/social movements, to the extent that wage earning work operates as a platform from which subjectivities are projected, less as material to be transformed and more as a foundation for generating collective rights. |

Este artículo se basa en una investigación etnográfica en curso con cooperativas de vendedores ambulantes que integran la Confederación de los Trabajadores de la Economía Popular (CTEP), una organización gremial formada recientemente en Argentina con el objetivo de representar a los trabajadores de la “economía popular”. Esta investigación busca contribuir al estudio de las formas en que los denominados “sectores populares” desarrollan prácticas creativas para atender a la producción y reproducción de la vida desde experiencias variadas de precariedad. En este trabajo se analiza cómo esta experiencia de precariedad habilitó un proceso de construcción colectiva que vincula un pasado vivo anclado en la experiencia subjetiva con un futuro que proyecta esta experiencia en términos políticos bajo la forma de organización gremial. Se sostiene que este proceso de construcción colectiva pone en tensión fronteras clásicas entre trabajo formal/informal, asalariado/no salarial, movimiento obrero/movimientos sociales, en la medida en que el trabajo asalariado opera como un horizonte desde el cual se proyectan subjetividades menos como materia a transformar y más como fundamento para la producción de derechos colectivos. Este artigo está baseado numa pesquisa etnográfica em andamento com cooperativas de vendedores ambulantes que compõem a Confederação dos Trabalhadores da Economia Popular (CTEP), uma organização gremial formada recentemente na Argentina com o objetivo de representar os trabalhadores da "economia popular". Esta pesquisa busca contribuir para o estudo das formas pelas quais os chamados "setores populares" desenvolvem práticas criativas para atender à produção e reprodução da vida a partir de experiências diversas de precariedade. Neste trabalho se analisa como esta experiência de precariedade permitiu um processo de construção coletiva que liga um passado vivo ancorado na experiência subjetiva com um futuro que projeta esta experiência em termos políticos, baixo a forma de organização gremial. Argumenta-se que este processo de construção coletiva coloca em tensão limites clássicos entre trabalho formal/informal assalariado/não assalariado, movimento obrero/movimentos sociais, na medida em que o trabalho assalariado funciona como um horizonte a partir do qual se projetam subjetividades menos como matéria a transformar e mais como fundamento para a produção de direitos coletivos.
