    ¿De qué manera las gobernanzas de la Argentina de Kirchner y la Venezuela de Chávez interactuaron con las movilizaciones populares? ¿En qué forma los sectores populares se involucraron y participaron en la gobernanza de centro-izquierda? Utilizando datos etnográficos, argumentamos que las respuestas a estas preguntas radican en tres mecanismos sociales que llamamos reconocimiento, incorporación y movilización selectiva. Analizamos cómo los activistas y participantes interpretaron y cuestionaron estos mecanismos, prestando atención a cómo afectaron la vida cotidiana del activismo y las acciones situadas de los participantes. Subrayando su naturaleza socialmente enraizada y dependiente de trayectorias históricas específicas, argumentamos que dichos mecanismos moldearon la movilización de forma diferente en cada país.

    How did governance in Kirchner’s Argentina and Chávez’s Venezuela interact with popular mobilisation? How have popular sectors engaged with and participated in Left-of-centre governance? Using ethnographic data, we argue that the answers to these questions lie in three social mechanisms that we call recognition, incorporation and selective mobilisation. We analyse how activists and participants interpreted and contested these mechanisms, paying attention to how they informed the everyday life of activism and the situated actions of participants. Underscoring their socially embedded and path-dependent nature, we argue that these mechanisms shaped mobilisation differently in each country

    Na Argentina de Kirchner e na Venezuela de Chávez, como a governança interagiu com a mobilização popular? Como setores populares engajaram-se e participaram na governança de centro-esquerda? Utilizando dados etnográficos, argumentamos que as repostas a estas questões estão em três mecanismos sociais que chamamos reconhecimento, incorporação e mobilização seletiva.

    Analisamos como ativistas e participantes interpretaram e contestaram estes mecanismos, com particular atenção à maneira pela qual estes mecanismos informavam o diaa-dia do ativismo e as ações específicas dos participantes. Destacando as naturezas intrinsecamente sociais e históricas destes mecanismos, argumentamos que estes moldaram a mobilização diferentemente nos dois países.
