Acción colectiva, vida cotidiana y trayectorias: El caso de las asambleas de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (2001-2007)

this article analyzes the assemblies that arose in the city of buenos aires amidst the increase of social mobilization in argentina in 2001. i aim to complement studies that explore assemblies as a social movement. instead of analyzing incentives that mobilized individuals toward action, the impact on the political system and the context that might have facilitated collective action, i suggest delving into individuals and interaction processes, their practices, meanings and trajectories. from a relational anthropological approach, i explore everyday practices, social relations and the daily interplay of individual's meanings. i analyze how people's trajectories became embodied in the collective sphere and interacted with everyday life, while the assembly experience reverberated in and redefined the lives of their participants.
