CAPASSO, VERÓNICA. Social Conflict, Art and Emotions: Towards Organization, Identification and Artistic Action Repertoire. Desafíos [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.2, pp.27-62. ISSN 0124-4035.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/desafios/a.7241.

In this paper we analyze the relationship between emotions, collective action and art in public space after the flood of April 2, 2013 in La Plata, focusing on a neighborhood assembly. The characteristics of their organization, their mural production, their repertoires of action and identifications and the conflict evidenced by artistic production will be addressed. It is up to the conclusion that the creation of murals was relevant in two ways. At the social level, it favored that neighbors who did not attend the meetings, approached and shared the collective moment. It is evident here the conformation of a shared affective atmosphere and the generation of bonds of friendship and companionship essential for the functioning and mobilization of the assembly members. At the political level, it generated antagonist relations mainly with the municipality of La Plata. It is visualized that the artistic production was staged but, at the same time, it produced the conflict. The methodology is qualitative and is based on the construction of a case study. We used participant and non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews in a transdisciplinary methodological design, which was composed of social studies of art, social studies of emotions/affections and political theory.
