La Salada in Recent Argentine Film and Literature","authors":"Matthew Johnson","doi":"10.1353/tla.2022.0039","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/tla.2022.0039","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:La Salada is a massive informal market complex located just outside the limits of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. It has existed since the early 1990s, and in recent years it has become a strategically important site for studying the economic and political transformations not just of Argentina, but of the globalized world. This essay synthesizes and critiques existing perspectives on La Salada, focusing in particular on the political composition of the market complex. If the Argentine media has highlighted the mafiaesque rule of La Salada by a handful of powerful administrators, a series of critical works have unearthed significant democratic forms, such as open stallholder assemblies, at the base of the market's internal politics. This essay argues that, while these works have compellingly critiqued the media's perspective, they have not sufficiently addressed the interplay between democratic practices and the vertical hierarchies of power that emerge in La Salada's three-decade history. It studies Julián D'Angiolillo's 2010 documentary Hacerme feriante to show how, by bracketing the media's perspective, critical works reveal democratic tendencies at La Salada. It then turns to Sebastián Hacher's 2011 urban chronicle Sangre salada, which is unique among critical works due to its emphasis on real estate and the conquest of the patchwork of territories that make up La Salada. This focus on real estate allows for a nuanced understanding of how hierarchies of power emerge in the market's history, constituting a powerful counterforce to the democratic tendencies privileged in other critical works. This essay ultimately proposes that La Salada's political composition can be understood in terms of the Aymara notion of ch'ixi, which Bolivian scholar Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui introduces to grasp complex historical realities without synthesizing opposed terms (as in theories of mestizaje or hybridity), but rather preserving their radical heterogeneity.","PeriodicalId":42355,"journal":{"name":"Latin Americanist","volume":"150 ","pages":"380 - 402"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41283024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a confederation of unions from Latin America as opposed to the Americas as a whole, the CTAL sought to provide leadership to advance workers' rights throughout the region. To do so, proponents had to negotiate tensions stemming from the diversity of Latin American politics and the personalities of those involved, as well as their relationships with international labor unions and the multi-lateral International Labour Organization. These conflicts, which were ultimately insurmountable, were evident from the confederation's inception. Although the CTAL unravelled by 1963, the confederation provided a space through which temporary alliances facilitated the exchange of ideas and legislative projects that shaped working conditions for decades to come. Based on the analysis of diplomatic correspondence and the periodical literature surrounding the founding of the CTAL, I show that although Latin American labor was unable to unite to overturn the international power dynamics and economic conditions that led to continued oppression, they were active in shaping the terms of their engagement with the global capitalist system.","PeriodicalId":42355,"journal":{"name":"Latin Americanist","volume":"66 1","pages":"403 - 436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46008782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brazil's Council on Food and Nutritional Security (Consea) is a case that demonstrates how participatory institutions empower civil society actors to direct the implementation of national policies in creative ways that can circumvent obstacles in the policy process and attend to local needs. In Rio de Janeiro, a coalition of civil society actors mobilized around the issue of urban agriculture through the Municipal Consea, reframing and reinterpreting national directives oriented towards rural family farming, which resulted in the expansion and implementation of these programs and altered the relationship between urban farmers and institutional actors. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 2015-2016, consisting of interviews and participatory observation, this research analyzes the role of a local participatory institution in fostering collaboration among civil society, state-society relations, and institutional change.","PeriodicalId":42355,"journal":{"name":"Latin Americanist","volume":"66 1","pages":"437 - 460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46854391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
