CARBONELLI, Marcos  e  GIMENEZ BELIVEAU, Verónica. Body and activism in contemporary Argentina. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2021, vol.83, n.4, pp.987-1020.  Epub 13-Dez-2021. ISSN 2594-0651.

This article analyzes how the body is involved in activist practices in contemporary Argentina. Based on an ethnographic study within political-religious organizations, the article describes the practices and discourses around the militant body, in particular, the narratives around sacrifice and pain as evidences of heroism and martyrdom, and those that refers to the paradigm of care. The findings underscore the complementarity of this double approach to the bond between organizations and their bases, and the centrality of the body in negotiation and public conflict.
