WEISZ, Clara; TOMMASINO, Natania  and  RIEIRO, Anabel. Affective networks in motion: Social and Solidarity Economy networks in Uruguay. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.2, pp.95-114.  Epub Aug 31, 2022. ISSN 1688-7026.  https://doi.org/10.26864/pcs.v12.n2.5.

The Network of Rural Women's Groups and the Agroecology Network of Uruguay are presented, analyzed as affective and supportive community networks that burst into the public sphere during the last decades, in search of collective solutions for common needs. Both networks are characterized by claiming rights and questioning instituted, particularly in relation to environmental and gender issues. From qualitative action research methodologies, a score of individual and collective in-depth interviews, six workshops, participant observation in daily spaces of the networks and the collection of secondary information were carried out. The article analyzes the tensions between instituted and instituting in both networks, from a point of view of the affects in the production of the common. The relevance of the study of this type of networks acquires particular relevance in the current context of economic, social and health crisis, since among the main findings we find that participation allows to politicize existence and enables alternative forms of subjectivation to the hegemonic ones.

Keywords : Networks; agroecology; gender; affections.
