ZIBECCHI, Carla. Interlocutors of the State? The Case of Beneficiaries of Social Welfare and of Representatives of Territorial Organizations in Argentina. Prospectiva [online]. 2019, n.27, pp.31-54. ISSN 0122-1213.  https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i27.7269.

This paper aims to describe the relationships established by poor women with the State and its bureaucracies through a description of two cases. The first case focuses on women as recipients of social welfare programs and the second on representatives of territorial organizations that developed in the popular classes in Argentina. One of the principal findings was that women continuously mediate among the target population of the social welfare policy, the State and its agencies, generating new forms of sociability, resolving social procedures and collaborating with the local formation of the State.

Keywords : Women; Social welfare policy; Street bureaucracies; State; mediation.
