Mundane and Everyday Politics for and from the Neighborhood
基于阿根廷大布宜诺斯艾利斯La Juanita地区的民族志研究,考察长期失业者如何通过嵌入街区的平凡日常实践抵抗政治支配,超越传统社会运动与隐性政治活动。
Social movement scholars and activists have recognized the difficulties of mobilizing people for the long haul, moving from the exuberance of the protest to the dull and ordinary work necessary to produce sustainable change. Drawing on ethnographic work in La Juanita, in Greater Buenos Aires, we look at local actions for and from the neighborhood in order to resist political domination, taken by people who have been unemployed for long periods of time. We identified concrete and local practices and interventions—which we call mundane and everyday politics – that are embedded in a territory and go beyond the typical practices of social movements and the expected infrapolitical activity in allowing the disfranchised to engage in the political process.
