From Poverty to Exclusion: Theoretical and Practical Implications for the Argentinian Case

Abstract

The words used to describe aspects of reality and condition categorize the modes of thinking. The term poverty limits a spectrum of issues to promote its socioeconomic dimension bounded theorizing but also modes of social relationship in the growing social boards. The idea of exclusion helps relax the frontiers of poverty by stressing the political nature of it and simultaneously relativizing the boundaries between those who believe not to be poor and those who are designated as such. Both theoretical and practical mastery of the concept of poverty was a function of the configuration of the unjust social structures in Latin America. On it is founded charitable subjects and objects of charity, both on a vision of the social question as merely incidental and not structural. This has its specific details in the Argentine case.
