In this paper we outline the main features of a model of cooperative cultural organization in the city of Buenos Aires, through a qualitative analysis focused on a subsector of the arts that correlates various dimensions; sociopolitical, economic, cultural and territorial. It is based on the hypothesis that organizations regulated by reciprocity dedicated to artistic production and/or programming have the potential to establish such a relationship with their context, that it allows seeing and questioning hegemony. However, the practices of these actors are not determined exclusively by a habitus of reciprocal solidarity, but instead make room for the critical capacities of their members who prioritize various values and logics of action according to the nature of each situation. On the other hand, they are organizations located in a city marked by neoliberal policies, and therefore they are crossed by other elements of the culture of higher hierarchy and possibilities of incidence. Taking into account all this complexity, the research sought to understand how reciprocity is translated as an ethical and normative precept in the concrete practices of these urban cultural organizations.

This paper seeks to emphasize the relevance of analyzing the exchanges between local and foreign counterparts. Latin American cultural history, cultural studies as well as architecture and urbanism histories contribute to discuss dependentists analyses on center--periphery relations. Those research lines enable a more productive approach on international circulation of ideas, technicians and urban models as well as international exchanges. The theoretical approach is articulated with a previous research that analyzes the struggle to define diagnoses of Buenos Aires city problems between 1983 and 1992. Those diagnosis are developed by various networks of local professional and technician, related in multiple ways with Spanish peers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social anthropology alows us to have a good look at the most recent urban transformations which took place in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. More specifically, we concentrate our attention on the urban renewal process which takes place in the suburban areas of this city. This urban regeneration process is connected with the sub-urbanization or peri-urbanization of middle / upper class groups in residential neighborhoods with security systems. Focusing on the process of growing and development of these "gated communities", this paper explores one of the most recent urban changes which are clearly seen in contemporary cities. We elaborate some statements about the phenomena under discussion based on a fieldwork experience carried out among residents of these particular residential products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
