Abstract
GAGGIOLI-HOERPEL**, Naymé N.. Economy in trouble: Individual economic agencies during times of crisis. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2014, n.19, pp.189-215. ISSN 1900-5407.
This article examines the extent to which individual economic agencies are reconfigured during crises. Empirical evidence from an ethnographic study about the Argentine crisis of 2001 is presented, arguing that periods of crisis are suggestive opportunities to illuminate the diverse forms of economic agency. Contrary to much of the traditional literature which assumes reason as opposed to passions, the findings illustrate the role of the interplay between the cognitive and the emotional in the orientation of economic action.
Keywords : Ethnography; crisis; Argentine; cognitive; emotional.
