  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the first way in which piquetero activists engage in working-class routines: reconstruction. It shows how older participants use their practices in the movement to reconstruct routines that once constituted an essential component of their personal identity, but that social changes have rendered impossible. In addition, the chapter elaborates on how this process varies for men and women: while the former engage in activities associated with blue-collar occupations, the latter reenact the type of household duties seen as the counterpart of factory work. Even though paid employment has always been common among working-class Argentinean women, many respondents still idealize the breadwinner/housewife family structure, and link some of the most pressing problems in their communities (crime, drugs, idleness) to the undermining of traditional gender roles.
