Resumo: | The following paper is an attempt to explore some dimensions involved in the use of money by subaltern sectors from José León Suárez, province of Buenos Aires. We claim that the specific practices of consumption, credit and saving, that take place at the intersection between the perceptions about income and the formal and informal mechanisms regulating the relationship to money, tend to widen the inequalities found in those social sectors. In this sense, our paper claims that consumption practices are structured by perceptions around income, that is, the nature of the job involved – whether formal or informal – the regularity and periodicity of wages, and the modality of wage payment – bank account or otherwise. Within this framework, we may find differential access to credit – in banks and retail stores as well as “credit rating” and “trust” among relatives and neighbors and small local stores – that entail associated ways of dealing with time both as an experience and something that can be calculated upon. All these dimensions, crisscrossed by regulations, exclusions and controls that shape the ways of spending, frame differential approaches to the use of money and saving. |

Se sostiene que en el cruce entre, por un lado, las modalidades que asume la percepción del ingreso en dicha población y, por el otro, los mecanismos formales e informales que regulan la relación con el dinero, se generan prácticas específicas de consumo, crédito y ahorro que tienden a profundizar las desigualdades existentes en dichos sectores. En este sentido, el trabajo plantea que las prácticas de consumo son estructuradas en torno a las condiciones de percepción del ingreso, es decir, a partir del trabajo del que se disponga – formal o informal –, la regularidad del pago – fijo o no y, en el primer caso, con que frecuencia temporal se percibe – y la forma del mismo – si se halla bancarizado o no –. Vinculado a esto, se desprenden distintas posibilidades de acceso a créditos – en bancos, en casas de venta de bienes para el hogar, de “confianza” entre parientes y vecinos y/o en comercios del lugar– que suponen otras tantas formas de relación con el tiempo y de la vivencia y calculabilidad del mismo. Estas cuestiones, entrecruzadas por reglamentaciones, exclusiones y controles que operan modelando las formas que adopta el gasto, encuadran formas diferenciales del manejo del dinero y del ahorro.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2011-02-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/833910.15448/1984-7289.2010.3.8339Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2010): Ethnography of economic practices: reflections on social boundaries; 410-429Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 10 Núm. 3 (2010): Etnografias de práticas econômicas: reflexões sobre fronteiras sociais; 410-429Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 10 n. 3 (2010): Etnografias de práticas econômicas: reflexões sobre fronteiras sociais; 410-4291984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2010.3reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
