Circular economy and gendered antagonism in the Global South
Rendre l’anthropologie plus publique encore. Notes à partir de recherches collaboratives avec des organisations populaires en Argentine
From the collaborative workshops to the experimental open laboratory . Methodological creativity in long-term research with waste pickers in Greater Buenos Aires
Since 2004, we have been implementing collaborative research workshops to analyze the organization of a waste picker ́s cooperative and its working process. Accompanying their techno-productive trajectory, the workshops currently focus on the configuration of a space for experimentation on recyclable materials that face technical and/or economic restrictions in order to be recycled. This experimental practice enables repertoires of skills and kno…
Pathways from research to sustainable development
Drawing on collective experience from ten collaborative research projects focused on the Global South, we identify three major challenges that impede the translation of research on sustainability and resilience into better-informed choices by individuals and policy-makers that in turn can support transformation to a sustainable future. The three challenges comprise: (i) converting knowledge produced during research projects into successful knowle…
Is there room for a circular economy “from below”? Reflections on privatisation and commoning of circular waste loops in Argentina
The Circular Economy (CE) narrative is spreading at a global scale, addressing different actors and settings, and thus facing new theoretical and empirical challenges. However, CE initiatives in the Global South have tended to extrapolate developed countries’ perspectives, as if the CE provides a global and universal benchmark to converge to. Drawing from a political ecology of waste in Latin America and building on empirical data derived from tw…
Grassroots innovations in ‘extreme’ urban environments. The inclusive recycling movement
Waste pickers all over the world work innovatively to reduce the environmental footprint of cities as they struggle to meet their critical livelihood obligations. Informed by the case of waste picker organizations (WPOs) this article examines how grassroots initiatives and extreme-niche innovations are created and sustained by mobilizing resources, rationales and relations. The study is informed by a cross-national survey and in-depth interviews …
Waste Pickers at the Heart of the Circular Economy
While the circular economy (CE) is discussed in the global North as an innovative approach to waste management, the idea of circular resource flows has long been central in the work of waste pickers all over the world. They work independently or in groups, collecting, classifying, and reinserting a wide range of discarded materials into the economy. These grassroots initiatives have accumulated valuable knowledge and offer innovative perspectives…
Inclusive recycling movements
This paper examines the multiple strategies articulated by grassroots recycler networks to bring about socioenvironmental change. The paper shows how these networks are an emblematic case of grassroots governmentality, whereby urban poor communities contribute to building more inclusive environmental regimes by developing technologies of power more typical of the powerful. These technologies include enumeration, with its resulting self-knowledge;…
"Contesting informality through innovation "from below
This paper draws on an ethnographic research to critically analyze the process of formalization of the so-called “informal” recyclers within the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. It claims that their recognition by governmental and nongovernmental agencies has been mostly oriented to crystallize their role as a workforce in the lower shackles of the recycling value chain. In contrast, other valuable contributions of waste pickers, such as the devel…
Waste Classification as a Craft under Construction
En este trabajo presentamos resultados de un análisis etnográfico realizado con habitantes del mayor relleno sanitario actualmente activo en el Gran Buenos Aires. Estas personas que se abastecían ingresando al basural, son quienes actualmente gestionan una de las "plantas de clasificación y separación" habilitadas dentro del relleno. El análisis sostiene la necesidad de recuperar los sentidos que estas personas conjugan para definir sus prácticas…

Desfetichizar para producir valor, refetichizar para producir el colectivo
Este artículo presenta resultados de una investigación realizada en una cooperativa de 'cartoneros' del área metropolitana de Buenos Aires dedicada al reciclado de residuos, focalizando en el análisis de la materialidad de sus prácticas. A partir del análisis etnográfico de las rutas de objetos descartados como 'basura' y su posterior apropiación, busco evidenciar los modos en los cuales éstos resucitan en la vida social, cargándose de nuevos sen…
Territorio, identidades y consumo
La incorporacion del enfoque territorial constituye el comun denominador de las propuestas mas recientes generadas en el campo del desarrollo rural. En ellas se advierte un inusitado interes por aquellos particularismos asociados al territorio, que se extiende mas alla de sus caracteristicas economicas, ecologicas y geograficas, para incorporar los aspectos sociales y culturales que otorgan singularidad a un determinado espacio. El presente traba…
