As the second volume of the collection Violence, security and social issues, this book presents a series of recent ethnographic studies on the prison establishments of the Prison Service of the Province of Buenos Aires (Servicio Penitenciario Bonaerense, SPB). In line with the initial proposal of this first series of the collection, this set of articles have their origin in the most prominent final papers for the Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the National University of La Plata (Universidad Nacional de La Plata, UNLP), which have been discussed within the framework of the Center for Security Studies in the Province of Buenos Aires (Núcleo de Estudios sobre Seguridad en la provincia de Buenos Aires, NESBA), a group formed around the sustained participation in various research projects at the School of Humanities and Education Sciences in UNLP. These studies share an interest in analyzing the social relations developed inside prison establishments, as well as those that connect the inhabitants of these institutions with other actors and spaces of the rest of society. En este libro, que constituye el segundo volumen de la colección Conflicto, violencia y política, se presentan una serie de estudios etnográficos recientes sobre los establecimientos carcelarios del Servicio Penitenciario Bonaerense (SPB). En sintonía con la propuesta inicial de esta primera serie de la colección, este conjunto de artículos tienen su origen en los más destacados trabajos finales de la Licenciatura en Sociología de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, que han sido debatidos en el marco del Núcleo de Estudios sobre Seguridad en la provincia de Buenos Aires (NESBA), grupo conformado en torno a la participación sostenida en diferentes proyectos de investigación dentro de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la UNLP. Los trabajos comparten el interés por analizar las relaciones sociales que se desarrollan en el interior de los establecimientos carcelarios, como también aquellas que conectan a quienes habitan estas instituciones con otros actores y espacios del resto de la sociedad.

Southern Zone. Warps of Popular Collective Action in Greater Buenos Aires (1974–1989): Popular politics, in its intricate folds and retreats, builds spaces and spreads its sediments. This book seeks to unravel the warp and woof of popular collective action in the southern zone of Greater Buenos Aires between 1974 and 1989. The unearthing of the contentious life of popular classes and a detailed reconstruction of the episodes that mark it will allow readers to go through a spatio-temporal weave in which territories and senses of place are created and recreated. Thus, the place emerges as an intrinsic part of the socio-historical processes, as a factor that intervenes in the dynamics of struggle, and as its provisional result. Situated at a threshold of social, economic and political changes in Argentina, the episodes narrated here, based on documentary archives and memorial records, describe a historical geography of popular struggles in a crucial period of Argentina’s recent history. La política popular, en sus intrincados pliegues y repliegues, erige espacios y esparce sus sedimentos. A través de este libro intentaremos penetrar en la urdimbre de la acción colectiva popular en la zona sur del Gran Buenos Aires entre 1974 y 1989. El desenterramiento de la vida contenciosa de las clases populares y una reconstrucción detallada de los episodios que la jalonan nos permitirá recorrer una trama espacio-temporal en la que se crean y recrean territorios y sentidos de lugar. Así, el lugar emerge como parte intrínseca de los procesos sociohistóricos, como factor que interviene en la dinámica de lucha y como su resultado provisorio. Situados en un umbral de cambios sociales, económicos y políticos de la Argentina, los episodios que aquí se narran, a partir de archivos documentales y registros memoriales, describen una geografía histórica de las luchas populares en un período crucial de la historia reciente de la Argentina.

This book is a political history of economic life. Through a description of the convulsions of long-term change from colony to republic in Buenos Aires, Republic of Capital explores Atlantic world transformations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Tracing the transition from colonial Natural Law to instrumental legal understandings of property, the book shows that the developments of constitutionalism and property law were more than coincidences: the polity shaped the rituals and practices arbitrating economic justice, while the crisis of property animated the support for a centralized and executive-dominated state. In dialectical fashion, politics shaped private law while the effort to formalize the domain of property directed the course of political struggles. In studying the legal and political foundations of Argentine capitalism, the author shows how merchants and capitalists coped with massive political upheaval and how political writers and intellectuals sought to forge a model of liberal republicanism. Among the topics examined are the transformation of commercial law, the evolution of liberal political credos, and the saga of political and constitutional turmoil after the collapse of Spanish authority. By the end of the nineteenth century, statemakers, capitalists, and liberal intellectuals settled on a model of political economy that aimed for open markets but closed the polity to widespread participation. The author concludes by exploring the long-term consequences of nineteenth-century statehood for the following century's efforts to promote sustained economic growth and democratize the political arena, and argues that many of Argentina's recent problems can be traced back to the framework and foundations of Argentine statehood in the nineteenth century.

Looking beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary social interactions, The Moral Power of Money investigates the forces of power and morality at play, particularly among the poor. Drawing on fieldwork in a slum of Buenos Aires, Ariel Wilkis argues that money is a critical symbol used to negotiate not only material possessions, but also the political, economic, class, gender, and generational bonds between people. Through vivid accounts of the stark realities of life in Villa Olimpia, Wilkis highlights the interplay of money, morality, and power. Drawing out the theoretical implications of these stories, he proposes a new concept of moral capital based on different kinds, or "pieces," of money. Each chapter covers a different "piece"—money earned from the informal and illegal economies, money lent through family and market relations, money donated with conditional cash transfers, political money that binds politicians and their supporters, sacrificed money offered to the church, and safeguarded money used to support people facing hardships. This book builds an original theory of the moral sociology of money, providing the tools for understanding the role money plays in social life today.
