Abstract

RAMBLA, Xavier  and  JACOVKIS, Judith. Between the management and production of poverty: an analysis of the official discourse on the Programa Familias para la Inclusión Social in Argentina. Convergencia [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.56, pp.157-179. ISSN 2448-5799.

In this article we draw on the method proposed by CROP (Comparative Research on Poverty) so as to spell out the causal mechanisms provoking the durable inequalities that underlie social inclusion policies in Argentina. We use Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis in order to highlight how international organizations and the Argentinean government have understood social inclusion as a way to observe and judge the everyday practices of the most vulnerable groups, thus imprinting a noticeable gender bias to the Families for Social Inclusion Program (Programa Familias para la Inclusión Social).

Keywords : social policy; inequality; gender; discourse analysis; globalization.
