LOOTING IN ARGENTINA: some clues for its comprehension based on the episodes of Córdoba – 2013

Continuing with a series of reflections that are situated between the studies of collective action, ideological criticism and the sociology of bodies and emotions, this study proposes to explain lootings in Argentina as phenomena associated with policies of particular sensitivities. In order to do this, this study revises the different ways of understanding the lootings; later, it reconstructs – from different secondary sources – an approximation of the “history of the spoliations” in Argentina, describing and establishing proximities and distances with the episode that occurred in Cordova in 2013. Finally, some possible interpretations of this episode are developed due to the analysis of qualitative material (observation and actors’ testimony). In the conclusion, it is emphasized the way in which lootings conceive the “unreason” of some particular practices of feeling, which can be described in the relationship between flow, mass, anger and vertigo. From there, some clues are synthesized for future analysis.

本研究接续一系列立足于集体行动研究、意识形态批判与身体-情感社会学交叉领域的反思，旨在将阿根廷哄抢事件阐释为与特定情感敏感性政策相关联的社会现象。为此，本研究首先梳理了学界对哄抢事件的多元认知路径；随后依托各类二手文献，重构阿根廷"劫掠史"的大致脉络，并比照2013年科尔多瓦发生的哄抢事件，厘清二者的相似与差异之处。最后，本研究通过对质性材料（实地观察与行动者证词）的分析，针对该事件提出若干可供探讨的解读框架。在结论部分，本研究着重阐释了哄抢事件如何彰显特定情感实践的"非理性"特质，这一特质可通过流动、群体、愤怒与眩晕之间的内在关联加以描摹。据此，本研究为后续相关分析提炼出若干核心研究线索。
