State Assistance, Poverty and Social Sensitivities in Argentina in the 21st Century
Journal Title: Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Social programs might be defined as institutional and normative designs to “administer” the social fallouts of the “flaws” of the capitalist system. Simultaneously, these programs operate as different means of building and strengthening specific forms of making/sensing/perceiving which perform the social and, from this point, structure sensitivities of the “target” subjects of the abovementioned interventions. The present article aims at outlining some analytic clues regarding the links between social structuring processes and public policies aimed at “tackling” poverty in an urban environment of the Global South. In order to do so, in the first place, some notions of Georg Simmel are outlined in relation to the “poor person” and “assistance”. Following are some keys to understanding public policies as “creators” of social sensitivities. Finally, quantitative data is presented on poverty levels and social programs in Argentina in the present, and analytical thoughts are laid out which emerge from a sociology of bodies/emotions.
