VINAR MARTINEZ, María Eugenia. Questions towards the communalization of the public at the local level as a challenge for the alternatives to the asylum. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.3, pp.41-51.  Epub Dec 01, 2023. ISSN 1688-7026.  https://doi.org/10.26864/pcs.v13.n3.3.

This article focuses on some results of a research that aimed to study the meanings that some groups in a particular area of the urban periphery of Montevideo, Uruguay, construct in relation to their actions, with emphasis on those about their links with state agents and their strategies to build autonomy. One of the results is the search to make the public common, to incorporate into the logic of the production of the common for the sustainability of life resources that are administered by the State. This contributes to the implementation of alternatives to confinement insofar as the protagonists themselves give it the sense of working in practices and for the creation of public policies that favor them and for processes of autonomy, participation and social emancipation. In the discussion, I delve into some dimensions of the communalization of the public in the case of a permanent inter-institutional work space promoted by one of the organizations that I studied that works in the area in terms of deinstitutionalization and in relation to the social and solidarity economy. These dimensions are: the nature of the framework, the normative and institutional transformations and the articulations between the paradigm of the common and that of deinstitutionalization and the social and solidarity economy. Both these dimensions and multiple questions are raised to continue deepening in this line.

Keywords : Collective action; urban periphery; communalization of the public; sustainability of life.
