Resumen
Muchas son los esfuerzos que están siendo dirigidos a procurar el
desarrollo autogestionario de los sectores populares. Sin embargo, no existe aún criterios unificados que posibiliten algunas líneas de consenso-estratégico que contribuyan a la acción efectiva y permanente de estos grupos. El abrir espacios de intercambio no sólo entre los académicos comprometidos con este tipo de luchas, sino también «entre» y "con" los sujetos protagónicos es una forma de ir creando estrategias de acción conjunta que brinden un aporte significativo a estos procesos. Producto de este interés central,
se circunscribe el presente artículo.
Creo oportuno convenir con los lectores, que no se trata de una exposición detallada y lineal de la experiencia que se está desarrollando en Sagrada Familia, sino más bien la reflexión de algunos ejes temáticos que contribuyan a establecer
lineamientos de integración del trabajo con organizaciones populares. Desde este punto de vista, un primer aspecto que vale la pena resaltar es la ubicación dinámica de los sectores sociales estratégicos, con los cuales estamos trabajando. Los barrios pobres urbanos no son unidades sociales homogéneas, en donde
viven inmensas familias con los mismos intereses y problemas. Los estudios realizados demuestran más bien una acentuada heterogeneidad social, derivada especialmente del tipo de inserción laboral, de la historia de cada grupo o núcleo
social y de un sinnúmero de problemas específicos muchas veces producidos por el lugar espacial que ocupan.
Many are the efforts that are being directed to seek the self-management development of the popular sectors. However, there are not yet unified criteria that make possible some lines of consensus-strategy that contribute to the effective and permanent action of these groups. Opening spaces of exchange not only between academics committed to this type of struggle, but also "between" and "with" the protagonists, is a way to create strategies of joint action that provide a significant contribution to these processes. The product of this central interest, this article is limited. I think it is appropriate to agree with readers that this is not a detailed and linear account of the experience that is taking place at Sagrada Familia, but rather the reflection of some thematic axes that contribute to establish guidelines for the integration of work with popular organizations From this point of view, a first aspect worth highlighting is the location dynamics of the strategic social sectors, with which we are working. Urban slums are not homogeneous social units, where Huge families live with the same interests and problems. The studies The results show a marked social heterogeneity, derived from the especially the type of labor insertion, the history of each group or nucleus and of a number of specific problems often produced by the spatial place they occupy.
